After Denmark and Sweden, there are four countries waiting for Brussels to cut PRR targets. The European Commission is analyzing the final payment requests from various Member States regarding the Recovery and Resilience Plan funds.

Concluded the implementation phase of the RRPs, the 27 countries of the European Union have until September 30 to submit their final payment requests to Brussels. This deadline marks the end of the execution process of the national recovery plans.

Six countries have already submitted these final payment requests and, of these, two have already received the green light from the European Commission. The remaining countries are at different stages of the analysis process.

Portugal intends to proceed with the final payment request only "at the end of September", thus aligning with the deadline established by Brussels for the completion of RRP payment requests.

Trump stated he is "reviewing all positions" on the issue, at a time of diplomatic tensions between the allies.
