EU expects US to scale back steel, aluminum goods tariffs within weeks, Bloomberg News reports

(Adds dropped word in headline)

Feb 24 (Reuters) – European Union officials expect ​the U.S. to ‌lower tariffs on goods containing steel and aluminum within weeks, potentially easing ‌a ​major source ⁠of friction in ⁠transatlantic trade ties, Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar ​with the matter.

The planned changes would ⁠not affect tariffs ⁠on commodity-grade forms ​of the metals, the ​report said.

Reuters could not ‌independently verify the report.

The potential move comes as broader trade negotiations ⁠face renewed uncertainty after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling ⁠limited ‌the administration’s ability ⁠to invoke emergency ​powers ‌to impose sweeping “reciprocal” ​tariffs, clouding ⁠prospects for a comprehensive agreement between Washington and Brussels.
