EU calls for 'respect' after Trump threatens 50% tariffs
- US President Donald Trump announced on May 23, 2025, a plan to impose a 50% tariff on EU goods starting June 1, escalating trade tensions in Washington and Brussels.
- This tariff threat follows stalled trade negotiations where the US demands unilateral concessions, including reduced non-tariff barriers and alignment with US standards.
- The EU opposes these moves, pledging to defend its interests and seeking a mutually beneficial agreement while facing existing US tariffs of 25% on steel and 10% on other goods.
- Trump also proposed a 25% duty on iPhones made outside the US and stated, “We stand ready to defend our interests,” emphasizing no tariffs on US-made products.
- The European Commission remains ready to negotiate but warns tariffs could harm both economies, with leaders calling for respect over threats to advance stalled talks into early July.
