Market Chatter: EU Concerned New US Demands Could Jeopardize Recent Trade Agreement
Oct 8, 2025 4:24 AM

07:09 AM EDT, 10/08/2025 (MT Newswires) -- EU officials are concerned that new trade demands from the US will undo progress made in a recent agreement that helped bring the allies back from the brink of a trade war, Bloomberg reported Wednesday.

Earlier this month, the Trump administration sent the EU a new proposal focusing on "fair and balanced" trade, but EU officials consider the demands to be too extreme, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter.

Details of the US demands have not yet been made public, as member states will be briefed on the discussions on Wednesday, the report said.

The US also wants to discuss EU rules on digital technology, corporate conduct, and climate policies, all of which the EU insists on maintaining regulatory autonomy, though it will consult with the US on each, the report said.

The European Commission and the White House did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' requests for comment.
