Intro

One month into the 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs, can the EU and the US find common ground? And what happens if they don’t strike any deal? We put these questions and more to Sven Van Kerckhoven, professor of political economics at Brussels university VUB.

We also head to Strasbourg for the European Parliament’s plenary sessions, which start today and will see MEPs discuss burning topics from just peace in Ukraine to the power outage in Spain and Portugal. And finally, we explore where in Europe workers pay the highest, and lowest, income tax.
