Trump Delays 50% Tariffs Decision After EU Negotiation Extension
President TRUMP postponed the implementation of 50% tariffs on EU goods following a request from European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. The deadline has been moved to July 9, allowing additional time for negotiations. The decision came after a phone call between the two leaders, with Trump describing the concession as a "privilege."
Von der Leyen emphasized Europe’s readiness for swift talks but underscored the need for a carefully crafted agreement. The 90-day negotiation window now extends to early July, temporarily sparing the EU from the initially proposed 20% tariffs.
