The European Parliament's international trade committee approved by 31 votes to six, with three abstentions, a compromise deal reached in interinstitutional negotiations with EU member states and the European Commission on legislation to implement the July 2025 EU-U.S. trade framework agreement, according to a June 2 European Parliament press release. A plenary vote on the deal in the European Parliament is scheduled for June 16.

The European Parliament had approved the original 2025 framework with conditions, including a sunrise clause tying EU tariff cuts to U.S. reductions on derivative steel tariffs and a sunset clause set to lapse on March 31, 2028. Implementing legislation was paused twice in 2026 after U.S. President Dondald Trump's threats to annex Greenland in January and the Supreme Court's February ruling invalidating much of his tariff policy. The May compromise in trilateral negotiations softened those safeguards but still lets the European Commission suspend EU concessions if Washington fails to cut steel and aluminum tariffs by the end of 2026. Trump has warned he will raise EU car tariffs from 15% to 25% unless the bloc completes implementation by July 4.
