  "summary": "The EU has responded to renewed trade pressure from the United States, with the EU Commission spokesperson stating that the EU's rules framework and regulatory autonomy are not up for negotiation. The EU has pushed back against the US's calls for it to roll back green rules on businesses, arguing that the laws' extraterritorial reach and costly due diligence obligations will adversely impact US businesses' ability to compete on a level playing field in the EU market. The US ambassador to the EU, Andrew Puzder, has called on the EU to align the provisions of two landmark new laws on environmental and human rights supply chain standards with the EU-US trade deal struck last year.",
