The US and European Union have reached an agreement to reduce tariffs on certain export products, with the EU reducing tariffs on US lobster and Washington reducing tariffs on EU imports such as glassware and pottery. The agreement, which is worth about $198 million, will be applied to all World Trade Organization members and is seen as a move to ease trade tensions between the two parties. The tax-cut package is the beginning of efforts to make transatlantic trade more free and fair, coming at a time of increasing trade disputes between the US and EU, including disputes over subsidies to aircraft manufacturers and Europe's digital taxation strategy on US technology corporations.
