Maroš Šefčovič, the EU Trade Commissioner, is heading to Washington in an effort to address the ongoing deadlock regarding US tariffs on European steel and aluminium.
This visit is significant as it is Šefčovič's first trip to the US since the EU-US trade deal was established in July 2025.
The focus of the discussions will be on the potential removal of the 50% tariffs imposed by the US, which have been a point of contention between the two regions.
