In the trade conflict with the United States, the EU exposed the application of planned special tariffs to US products by July 14th.
With the corresponding publication in the EU-Amtsblatt, the EU is implementing an announcement by Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. She had announced last week that the measure intended for mid -April should be suspended for around three months.
The shift is a reaction to the action of US President Donald Trump: After great turbulence on the stock and financial markets, he surprisingly decided to grant a break from certain tariffs for 90 days. This breathing space is now to be used for negotiations.
