Eu pauses counter tariffs for 90 days after u s reprieve
Ursula von der Leyen says the EU wants to give ‘negotiations a chance’, but maintains that if talks are not satisfactory, countermeasures on €20.9 billion worth of American goods will kick in.The European Union’s executive commission said on Thursday it will put trade retaliation measures on hold for 90 days to match U.S. President Donald Trump’s pause on his sweeping new tariffs and leave room for a negotiated solution.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said that the commission, which handles trade for the bloc’s 27 member countries, “took note of the announcement by President Trump.”
New tariffs on €20.9 billion ($23 billion) of U.S. goods will be put on hold for 90 days because “we want to give negotiations a chance,” she said in a statement.
But she warned: “If negotiations are not satisfactory, our countermeasures will kick in.”
Mr. Trump imposed a 20% levy on goods from the EU as part of his onslaught of tariffs of 10% and upward against global trading partners but said on Wednesday he will pause them for 90 days to give countries a chance to negotiate solutions. Countries subject to the pause will face Mr. Trump’s 10% baseline tariff.
The targeted goods are a tiny fraction of the €1.6 trillion in U.S.-EU annual trade. Some €4.4 billion in goods and services crosses the Atlantic each day in what the European Commission calls “the most important commercial relationship in the world.” The EU has targeted smaller lists of goods in hopes of exerting political pressure and avoiding economic damage from a wider escalation of tit-for-tat tariffs.
