تواجه عملة البيتكوين مخاطر جمركية جديدة حيث يتسابق الاتحاد الأوروبي لوضع اللمسات الأخيرة على صفقة التجارة الأمريكية هذا الشهر

The European Union is racing against a self-imposed deadline to implement its side of the existing US-EU trade accord, with the next formal trilogue round set for May 19 in Strasbourg. President Donald Trump threatened on May 2 to lift tariffs on EU cars and trucks to 25% from 15%, a move the Kiel Institute for the World Economy estimates could cost Germany nearly €15 billion in near-term output. Bitcoin's exposure to this trade fight runs through US inflation, Federal Reserve policy, and cross-asset risk appetite. The European Parliament advanced the implementing legislation on Mar. 26, subject to a sunrise clause tying EU tariff cuts to US compliance, a sunset clause ending concessions on Mar. 31, 2028, and a suspension mechanism if Washington breaches the deal or if US imports surge. Some EU governments have resisted those conditions as too restrictive, preferring faster implementation with fewer safeguards. Parliament's chief trade negotiator Bernd Lange said on May 7 that there is “still some way to go.” The deal would remove duties on US industrial goods and open preferential access for some American farm and seafood exports, while the EU side would receive capped tariffs of 15% on qualifying goods, a rate Trump now threatens to replace with 25% on autos.
