BRUSSELS — A flurry of U.S. court rulings over the legality of President Donald Trump’s tariffs have strengthened the EU’s hand in ongoing negotiations, European trade war watchers say. Italian Member of the European Parliament Brando Benifei, who sits on the trade committee and visited the U.S. this week with fellow lawmakers, thinks the possibility of the tariffs ultimately being ruled unlawful will speed up talks.

BRUSSELS — U.S. President Donald Trump has two gigantic trade blocs in Europe and the Pacific now eyeing each other and considering a previously far-fetched idea. It’s a plan leaders in Brussels and the 12-nation Indo-Pacific club have been turning over in their minds since Trump’s April 2 “Liberation Day” tariffs. As Trump’s trade war smashes the economic order globalization built into little bits: Why not band together?
EU farm plan earmarks more cash for disaster relief even as it loosens green rules

4 weeks ago | politico.eu | Louise Guillot |Lucia Mackenzie |Jakob Weizman

BRUSSELS — The European Commission’s plan to slash bureaucracy for farmers risks hurting the planet. The EU executive wants to give out more cash to aid farmers hit by natural disasters while weakening the very green rules that are meant to safeguard the environment. That’s the main takeaway of a planned package of reforms to simplify EU farm policies, which account for over a third of the bloc’s total spending.

Foreign Minister Jan Lipavský insisted during an interview with POLITICO that, despite the failure of closed-door talks so far, the bloc could use a carrot-and-stick strategy to avert a full-blown transatlantic crisis.
