US EditionEU trade negotiator says calls with US officials were ‘good’ after Trump extends tariff deadline
- On June 1, President Donald Trump announced plans to apply a 50% tariff on products coming from the European Union but later postponed the implementation date to July 9.
- Trump’s tariff threat stems from complaints about the EU’s trade surplus, value-added taxes, and longstanding disputes over food safety and regulatory standards.
- European negotiators are actively seeking a trade deal to avoid the tariffs, while the EU consistently refuses to change its rules on sanitary standards, GMO crops, and chlorinated chicken.
- Economists warn the 50% tariffs could lower the Eurozone’s economy by up to 1% next year and reduce business investment by more than 6%, while experts call the tariff an "effective trade embargo."
- Mary Lovely said Trump’s strategy increases uncertainty that paralyzes business and shows the U.S. as an unreliable partner operating on whim rather than law, implying ongoing tension ahead.
