The President of the United States of America (US) Donald Trump, after a conversation with the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, agreed to postpone the introduction of 50% tariffs on goods from the EU until July 9. He wrote about this on his social network Truth Social.
"I received a call today from Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, requesting an extension on the June 1st deadline on the 50% Tariff with respect to Trade and the European Union. I agreed to the extension - July 9, 2025 - It was my privilege to do so," the American President wrote.
According to Trump, the President of the European Commission assured him that negotiations would begin as soon as possible.
"Thank you for your attention to this matter!" Trump summed up.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on April 2, Donald Trump officially launched a tariff, or "trade" war, against all countries, introducing duties on imports depending on the country of origin. Also last week, Donald Trump said that negotiations between the US and the European Union had reached an impasse. He announced the introduction of tariffs on European goods of up to 50% from June 1.
