The EU is delaying retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods, in hopes of reaching a deal by Aug. 1
BRUSSELS, BELGIUM, JUL 13 – The European Union maintains tariff suspension on U.S. goods to avoid escalation while preparing countermeasures affecting €93 billion in U.S. imports, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said.
- The European Union postponed the planned tariffs targeting U.S. imports that were set to begin on August 1 in order to extend the window for ongoing trade discussions.
- This delay follows a letter from U.S. President Donald Trump threatening 30% tariffs on EU imports, citing the U.S. trade deficit as a national security risk.
- The EU is prioritizing negotiation to resolve trade tensions with the U.S., has prepared an additional set of countermeasures, and emphasizes the need to broaden its trade partnerships.
- In 2025, the total value of commercial exchanges in goods and services between the EU and the United States reached approximately €1.7 trillion , establishing the EU as the largest trading partner for the U.S.
- The EU will extend the suspension of countermeasures until early August but will continue preparing further measures if no deal is reached by then.
