Background of the Study
Diplomatic negotiations play a critical role in resolving trade imbalances between major economic blocs. US–EU trade talks have long been central to addressing disputes related to tariffs, market access, and regulatory standards. These negotiations involve complex discussions that aim to harmonize economic policies and reduce barriers to trade (Harrison, 2023). Diplomatic efforts in trade negotiations not only seek to correct imbalances but also to foster a stable and predictable trading environment. The iterative process of dialogue, compromise, and policy reform is crucial for managing economic frictions and promoting mutual growth. Evidence from recent US–EU trade talks indicates that strategic negotiations have led to the implementation of policies that mitigate trade deficits while supporting domestic industries. However, persistent challenges such as differing regulatory approaches, political pressures, and protectionist sentiments continue to complicate these discussions (Martin, 2024). This study examines how diplomatic negotiations are employed to resolve trade imbalances between the US and EU, analyzing both the successes and limitations of these efforts. The research highlights the interplay between economic interests and diplomatic strategies, aiming to provide a comprehensive assessment of negotiation tactics and outcomes (Walker, 2025).
Statement of the problem
Trade imbalances between the US and EU remain a contentious issue, exacerbated by divergent regulatory standards and political interests. Despite ongoing negotiations, unresolved trade deficits continue to strain bilateral relations and economic cooperation. The negotiation process is often marred by delays and compromises that fail to address underlying structural issues. This study seeks to understand the factors that hinder successful resolution of trade imbalances and to identify strategies that can lead to more equitable outcomes (Harrison, 2023; Walker, 2025).

To examine the role of diplomatic negotiations in addressing US–EU trade imbalances.
To identify key challenges in resolving trade disputes.
To propose strategies for improving negotiation outcomes.
