Trump Delays 50% EU Tariff Until July 9 After Call With Von der Leyen

After speaking with Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, U.S. President Donald Trump has delayed the implementation of a 50% du

After speaking with Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, U.S. President Donald Trump has delayed the implementation of a 50% duty on goods from the European Union EU until July 9. After von der Leyen asked for more time for negotiations, Trump agreed to the delay, even though he had originally intended to implement the levy on June 1 due to failed negotiations. Trumps most recent action increases fears about transatlantic trade tensions, even though the EU had previously faced a 20% duty that was lifted in April. The European markets responded favourably, with the Paris CAC 40 up 1.1% and Frankfurts DAX up 1.6%. Before the new deadline, the delay enables both parties to look for a mutually beneficial trade agreement. Read More..

Citing global economic changes and investor concerns over the instability of U.S. policy, European Central Bank ECB President Christine Lagarde has said that the euro might emerge as a competitive alternative to the U.S. dollar.
