A bargain should not come with a blind spot. From 1 July, the EU will end the old customs exemption for low-value parcels worth up to €150 and introduce a temporary €3 customs duty on goods imported from outside the EU. Read more in our new blog by @leaauffret.bsky.social & @anairo.bsky.social 📦⤵️

In person meeting @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu +@POTUS tomorrow is crucial for 🇪🇺🇺🇸. We finally need clarity. #Tariffs must be lowered again. Even current situation is untenable. A framework agreement must also prevent further tariffs. Trying to agree: yes; submission:no. We are ready to react!

@vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu & Trump will meet in person this Sunday. Consumer and digital rights groups across the Atalantic from @tacd-consumers.bsky.social will not accept any lowering of consumer protection as part of a deal. We count on the EU & the US to find a mutually beneficial solution.

🇪🇺President Von der Leyen has decided - the EU's first reaction to Trump's threatening letter is (for now) surrender. The retaliatory tariffs scheduled to take effect Tuesday will be again delayed to not antagonise the US during continued negotiations. The EU has not yet found its spine.

Holy Trump tariff whiplash, Batman! A court invalidated many tariffs last night but today another court revived them. Please join me for a brief guided what-it-means tour of 24 hrs of tariff drama starting w/ the US Court of Int’l Trade (USCIT) ending tariffs by 6/7/25… 🧵

Screenshot of a court judgment dated May 28, 2025. The judgment declares that four executive orders issued in 2025—Executive Orders 14193, 14194, 14195, and 14257—related to imposing duties to address illicit drug flows, border issues, the synthetic opioid supply chain, and trade deficits with China, are collectively invalid and contrary to law. The court further orders that the operation of these "Challenged Tariff Orders," including any modifications and amendments, is permanently enjoined.

Trump’s move to fire us is a terrible warning for the US economy

The 90 days pause in the tariffs madness is good news but the US pressure against EU laws will remain very high. Consumer groups in the US & EU from @tacd-consumers.bsky.social have a message for the EU: Stay strong, don't cave in and enforce your laws to protect consumers 💪 tacd.org/wp-content/u...

Reassuring statement from the EU. Consumer groups in the EU and the US from @tacd-consumers.bsky.social oppose these coercive tariffs. Instead of retaliation, the U.S. & the EU should work together to tackle common challenges like illegal & unsafe products. Read more tacd.org/tacd-opposes...

Tariffs should protect workers, not billionaires. Trump’s last tariff scheme was full of special favors for his allies (including a Russian oligarch close to Putin). His 2025 plan? More corruption, more handouts, and no real strategy for American jobs. 🚫

Excellent point from Director Rohit Chopra, CFPB, calling for fair & competitive markets and avoid a race to the bottom to preserve both EU and US values. Food for thought for us in Europe: we should not confuse more competitiveness with less consumer protection @bruxconf2025.bsky.social

Very inspiring to hear from former USTR Katherine Tai about the need to better connect trade policy to the people and to really innovate, instead of just correcting past trade policies. @bruxconf2025.bsky.social
