Key takeaways:
The EU has until December 31st, 2026, to agree to giving American authorities wide access to Europeans’ biometric and other personal data.
If the bloc refuses to do so, member states will lose the visa-free regime with Washington, allowing citizens to stay in the US for up to 90 days.
