Trump delays 50 percent tariffs on European Union

US President⁣ announces delay⁤ of 50% ⁢tariffs on EU imports by over‌ one ⁢month.

according to webangah News Agency, ‍US President⁤ Donald Trump has postponed implementing 50% tariffs against the European Union amid ongoing ⁤trade conflicts with nearly all‍ global partners, including Washington’s closest allies.

The‍ tariffs, originally scheduled for June 1, will now take effect ⁣on July 9 following ⁣a‍ phone call‌ between ‍Trump and european Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. Trump claimed von ‍der Leyen ⁣expressed willingness ⁤to “enter serious negotiations” ‍during their conversation.

“I’ve told anyone who would listen that thay needed to do this,” Trump told ‌reporters. “Von der ⁤Leyen promised we’d sit down immediately to⁤ resolve the issue.”

On Friday, the president had threatened the ⁢27-member bloc via his Truth Social platform, complaining that “dealing with the EU‌ is very difficult” and⁣ trade talks were going nowhere. ⁤He initially set June 1 as the⁤ deadline for imposing the punitive tariffs.

The von der Leyen call‌ appears ⁣to have temporarily⁢ defused tensions. Shortly after their⁣ discussion, Trump announced: ⁢”I agreed to extend this until July ⁢9, ⁣2025. ⁣It ‍was my⁢ honor to do so!”

The European Commission president stated: “The EU and US share the most notable‌ commercial‍ relationship in history. ⁣Europe stands ready to move⁣ forward quickly and‍ decisively with negotiations. We simply⁢ needed until July 9th to reach a good agreement.”

Diasilva says Israel seeks to expel Palestinians from their land through genocide

Brazilian President ‌Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has accused ⁣Israel of committing “genocide” against Palestinians, stating the current phase⁣ of Zionist regime ⁤aggression seeks to forcibly displace them from their homeland, ‌according to a report by webangah News ‍Agency.

The Brazilian president⁤ noted that Dr.Najjar’s sole surviving son and his wife remain hospitalized in critical⁤ condition.

“This is no longer about self-defense claims, counterterrorism efforts, or attempts to free ⁢Hamas-held hostages. What ⁢we witness today in Gaza is pure revenge,” he⁢ added.

Trump delays 50 percent tariffs on Europe

U.S. President Agrees to⁣ Delay 50% Tariff on EU Imports Until July 9

According to ‍ webangah‍ News Agency,U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that‍ he has agreed to postpone the implementation of ⁤a 50% tariff on imports from the European Union until July 9.

The decision marks the latest example of‌ Trump’s pattern of announcing imminent ⁢tariffs and creating market uncertainty, only to later walk back initial threats.

Trump stated ‍that he had a “very good” phone call with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, which led to this decision.

“von der Leyen said she‌ wants serious⁣ negotiations,” Trump told reporters at Morristown⁤ airport in⁢ New Jersey. “She asked for the tariff implementation date to be moved from June 1 to July 9, and I agreed.”

The president added: “She‍ said ⁢we’ll ⁢meet soon and see ‍if we can reach an agreement.” However, as recently as Friday,⁢ Trump ⁢had insisted no deal with the EU was forthcoming and that the⁢ 50% tariff would take effect on June 1.

The proposed tariff was intended⁢ as retaliation for a reciprocal 20% duty‌ announced by Trump ‌in April—though that measure, like other so-called reciprocal tariffs, had also been delayed.

minutes after speaking with reporters, Trump posted on Truth Social: “Negotiations will begin quickly.” Earlier that⁣ day, von‌ der Leyen wrote on X (formerly Twitter) about having a “good call” with Trump.She emphasized: “The‍ EU and U.S. hold‍ the world’s ‍moast vital trade relationship.Europe is ready to move forward swiftly and decisively in talks. We need until July 9 to reach a⁣ good agreement.”

Following news of the ⁤delay, Asian stock markets saw modest gains on Monday:

– Japan’s Nikkei :rose:0.8%

– South Korea’s KOSPI :gained:0.9%
– China’s Shanghai Composite :up:3%
– Taiwan & Australia indices remained flat

Hong ⁣Kong Hang Seng declined by 3 %⁣ .

Trump has repeatedly criticized “non-monetary trade barriers”and⁤ trading partners with⁣ U .S deficits . According tO Commerce Department data , America recorded ⁤A ‌$236 billion trade deficit With The Eu last year⁤ .

Separately ,‌ On Sunday , He aligned⁣ With Treasury Secretary scott Bassett⁢ ’S recent remarks opposing⁢ domestic textile ⁣production revival : “We don ’T want shoes or T-shirts … We ⁣want military equipment . big things — AI‍ And computers.”
