Trump says EU has until July 4 to approve last year’s trade deal or it will face higher tariffs
Trump says EU goods could face much higher tariffs if lawmakers miss the July 4 deadline to ratify last year’s trade framework.
- President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that the European Union has until July 4 to approve last year's trade deal or face higher tariffs, framing the deadline around the Country's 250th Birthday.
- The Historic Trade Deal, agreed in Turnberry, Scotland, originally set tariffs on European goods at 15%. Trump claims the European Union failed to cut tariffs to ZERO as promised under the Agreement.
- After the Supreme Court ruled the initial tariff declaration lacked legal authority, the administration levied a 10% tariff while investigating trade imbalances. Trump previously threatened to increase tariffs on European automobiles to 25%.
- Trump wrote on Truth Social that he had a "great call" with European Commission President Ursula, though the European Parliament has yet to finalize the trade arrangement reached last year.
- Until the Country's 250th Birthday, the European Union has until July 4 to fulfill its side of the deal; otherwise, Trump warned that tariffs would immediately jump to much higher levels.
