# U.S.-EU Trade Rapprochement – Anything There for Rice? | USA Rice Federation

> Following a July 25 Trump-Juncker meeting, the U.S. and EU agreed to work toward zero industrial tariffs, pausing a tariff escalation. USA Rice said the statement omitted agriculture, and that EU duties keep U.S. rice exports near 55,000 tons, with an extra 25% duty imposed on U.S. milled and broken rice on June 20.

## Why it matters

The extra EU duty further restricts U.S. rice export access, keeping demand for U.S. rice weak, though the broader trade truce modestly lowers tail risk.
