EU urges US to reinstate trade deal tariffs as anniversary nears


BRUSSELS, May 5 (Reuters) - The European Union's trade chief has urged the United States to swiftly restore the tariffs agreed in last year's EU-US trade deal, the European Commission said on Tuesday.

The Commission added that it would be beneficial if the main terms of that deal were in place ahead of its one-year anniversary in July.

Maros Sefcovic met U.S Trade Representative Jamieson Greer in Paris on Tuesday, with U.S. President Donald Trump's threat to increase tariffs on EU cars and trucks to 25% among the EU's main concerns.
