# EU Expects Most US Tariffs to Stay as Talks Make Little Progress
* After a two-hour meeting, EU trade chief Maros Sefcovic left unclear on US goals.
* The US officials indicated that the 20% “reciprocal” tariffs — which have been reduced to 10% for 90 days — as well as other tariffs targeting sectors including cars and metals would not be removed outright
* The US would like to see European chemical firms produce more precursors used in the pharmaceutical industry in the US, integrate supply chains, have preferential procurement and suggested the bloc should increase the price of its medicines
