Congress.gov states H.R.2146 became Public Law No. 114-26.

The European Commission states that on July 27, 2025, the EU and United States agreed a deal on tariffs and trade, and that as from July 1, 2026, the EU eliminated all duties on imports of U.S. industrial goods and improved market access for certain U.S. agri-food products.

As of the payload date, an official EU source says a U.S.-EU trade/tariff deal had moved into implementation, supporting later-term delivery of a European trade-deal component, though not showing Scalise’s personal role.

It says the EU intends to eliminate tariffs on all U.S. industrial goods and provide preferential market access for U.S. seafood and agricultural goods.

The 2025 U.S.-EU framework is direct official evidence of a later European trade deal framework that helps American exporters, but the source does not tie the negotiation to Scalise personally.

The European Commission page says there is "no dedicated free trade agreement" between the EU and U.S.; TTIP negotiations were launched in 2013, ended in 2016 without conclusion, and were formally closed in 2019.

Earlier U.S.-EU free-trade negotiations failed, so pre-2025 European efforts count as pursuit but not delivery.
