EU delays retaliatory trade tariffs against US | BBC News

Descripción:

The EU's retaliatory tariffs on US exports have been delayed again, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has announced. The countermeasures, which were due to start on Tuesday, came in response to US President Donald Trump's initial import taxes on steel and aluminium. The EU's retaliation, which would have hit €21bn worth of US goods, was first suspended in March. This break has been extended until early August, von der Leyen told a press conference on Sunday. EU trade ministers are expected to meet in Brussels on Monday to discuss how to respond.
