Fully agree with my colleague Maroš Šefčovič🇪🇺 There is a huge amount at stake here for businesses, workers & consumers on both sides of the Atlantic. The 🇪🇺🇺🇸trade & economic relationship is mutually beneficial. We’re ready to negotiate but are also prepared for all scenarios.

Good call with President Donald J. Trump. The EU and US share the world’s most consequential and close trade relationship. Europe is ready to advance talks swiftly and decisively. To reach a good deal, we would need the time until July 9.

EU consumer protection laws are not optional - they must be applied in all cases. We will not shy away from holding e-commerce platforms to account. It’s for SHEIN to step up and bring its practices fully in line with 🇪🇺 consumer standards. europa.eu/!H9NFvr
