The EU delayed the trading tariffs on us

Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission Ursula von der, has been stuck again, said the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

The confrontations, which were to start on Tuesday, came in response to the initial tax on US President Donald Trump’s President’s import taxes on steel and aluminum.

The EU retaliation, which would reach 21 billion euros, was first rejected in March. This break was extended by early August, von der Leyen said at a press conference on Sunday.

EU trade ministers are expected to meet in Brussels on Monday to discuss how to respond.

He comes after Trump wrote a letter to von der Leen, which announced his plans to impose 30% of EU import tariffs since August 1.

He warned that if the trading partner has avenged his own duties in the US, against the US, He would refuse to raise tariffs above 30%.

In a pre -recorded interview with Fox News, aired on Saturday night, Trump said some countries were “very upset”, but he insisted that tariffs mean “hundreds of billion dollars”.

Von der Leyen told reporters on Sunday: “The United States sent us a letter with measures that came into force unless there is a negotiation decision, so we will also expand our countermeashed by early August.

“At the same time, we will continue to prepare for countermers, so we are fully prepared.”

The President of the European Commission insisted that the EU “has always been very clear that we prefer the decision that is talking.”

“It remains so and we will use the time we have until August 1,” she added.

EU trading ministers should meet on Monday in Brussels to discuss how strong the line to take with Washington.

German Finance Minister Lars Kalingbel said on Sunday that “serious and oriented negotiations” with the United States still needed, but added that if they did not receive, the EU would need “decisive measures to protect jobs and enterprises in Europe”.

“Our hand remains stretched, but we will not accept anything,” said Salingbel Daily Newspap Sueddeutsche Zeitung.

His comments came after French President Emmanuel Macron called on a European commission on Saturday – negotiating on behalf of all EU countries – “strongly defend European interests.”

As of Saturday, the Trump administration has offered tariff conditions in 24 countries and the EU consisting of 27 countries.

On April 12, the White House Trade Advisor Peter Navaro set a goal to provide 90 transactions in 90 days.
