<h1>Trade committee chair warns deal may be amended amid doubts over 15% EU duties and 50% US steel tariffs</h1> The chair of the EU Parliament's trade committee expressed doubts about a recent EU-US tariff agreement and said it could be amended during the parliamentary approval process. The deal would apply a 15% tariff to many European goods while eliminating EU tariffs on US cars and industrial products, with specific exemptions for some sectors. Concerns include a subsequent US decision to place about 400 steel-containing products under a 50% tariff, a court ruling that questioned the US executive's authority to impose such tariffs without Congress, and political opposition within the Parliament that lacks a majority. The EU Commission is meanwhile advancing separate free trade agreements with other partners, including Mercosur.
