Group 1 - The EU is facing significant challenges as the Trump administration expands the scope of tariffs, with a potential 15% or 20% uniform tariff on nearly all trade partners [1][2] - EU member states are divided on how to respond to Trump's tariff threats, with Germany advocating for a quick agreement to protect its industry, while France and others resist unilateral concessions [2][4] - The EU's initial goal of a comprehensive trade agreement has shifted to seeking a temporary agreement, with ongoing discussions about automobile tariffs currently set at 25% [2][3] Group 2 - Businesses are altering supply chains and reducing imports due to tariff uncertainties, with reports of companies like Walmart and Levi's delaying orders and limiting shipments [3][4] - The real concern for the EU is not just the tariffs themselves but Trump's unpredictability, which complicates negotiations and planning [4][6] - The EU has a pending €21 billion worth of retaliatory tariffs that will automatically take effect unless the current suspension is extended [4][5]
