EU delays retaliatory trade tariffs against US
EU delays retaliatory trade tariffs against US as European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen extends the suspension until early August to negotiate a solution. The tariffs were in response to US taxes on steel and aluminium, and further delays come after Trump's plans to impose 30% tariffs on EU imports from August 1. The EU aims to defend European interests, preparing for countermeasures while seeking a negotiated settlement before the new deadline.
