European Parliament Approves U.S. Trade Deal to Cut Tariffs on Industrial and Agricultural Goods
European lawmakers voted to approve the tariff elements of a major trade agreement with the United States after a key test in the legislature. The deal, known as the Turnberry Deal, aims to reduce tariffs on industrial and agricultural products following months of negotiations. The agreement moves forward after the U.S. pledged to cap most tariffs on European imports at 15 percent to ensure more reciprocal trade.
While the Parliament backed the deal, lawmakers included specific regulatory conditions and provisos to protect European standards. U.S. officials welcomed the vote, stating that the agreement will provide better market access for American workers and businesses. This vote advances the agreement reached in July 2025 toward final implementation between the two economies.
