European Union exports to America record the highest rate ever

European Union exports to the United States recorded a big leap last March, the month that preceded what US President Donald Trump called “Liberation Day”, which is related to imposing a series of customs duties within the framework of the trade war it is fighting with the countries of the world.

The European Statistical Office “Eurostat” stated that the value of the cluster exports that crossed the Atlantic to the United States in March 2025 amounted to 71.4 billion euros (80 billion dollars), an increase of 59% compared to the same month last year, bringing the European Union’s trade surplus with the United States to that month to 40.7 billion euros at the highest rate ever.

The Bloomberg News Agency reported that this data highlights the pre -charging volume made by exporters to deliver goods to the American ports before the customs duties that Trump vowed to impose on April 2, 2025.

According to “Bloomberg”, on that date, Trump revealed that customs duties were imposed on almost other countries of the world, as the percentage of fees imposed on the European Union exports to the United States reached 20% before they later reduced them to 10% to allow trade negotiations between the two sides.

“Bloomberg” quoted informed sources as saying that the European Union is currently reviewing its proposals on a possible trade agreement with the United States in light of the two parties’ move to accelerate serious talks in this regard, despite the Trump administration continued not to provide sufficient clarifications and put forward demands that the negotiators consider unracked.

The sources said that European proposals will include more details about reducing commercial and customs barriers, strengthening European investments in the United States and buying American goods, such as natural gas and semi -conductors used in the field of artificial intelligence.
