Trump expands the deadline for the trade contract until 9. July star-news.press/wp

U.S. President Donald Trump agreed to extend the deadline for negotiating tariffs with the European Union by 9. July.

He comes after the president of the European Commission Ursula von Leyen said he had a “good call” with Trump on Sunday.

Last month, Trump announced a tariff of 20% on most EU goods, but later he halved him at 10% to 8. July to allow for talks for negotiations. Trump expressed frustration on Friday with the pace of negotiations with the EU and would threatened to impose 50% of the tariff.

Speaking with journalists, Trump said that Von Der Leyen said “we will quickly gather him and see if we can do something,” Publish later in the truth that it was his “deadline prolongation.”

Von Der Leyen said earlier that she was ready to move “quickly” to agree with the trade contract with the US, but that the block is needed until 9. July to arrange “good work”.

In the remarks of journalists in the White House on Friday afternoon, Trump said that he plans to raise tariffs on all goods that was up to 1. June, stating impatience of negotiations.

Later Friday, EU Chief Maros Šefčovich confirmed Bloc’s commitment to securing an honest job.

After a call with the American Jamieson Greer Greek MP and the Trade of Howard Lutnick, he said, “The EU is fully engaged, dedicated to the provision of the contract working for both.”

He continued, “American trade is incomparied and must be guided by mutual respect, not threats. We are ready to defend our interests.”

Trump has long since criticized what he sees as an unfair trade relationship with the EU, despite the block which is one of the largest trading partners Washington. Last year, the EU carried out more than $ 600 billion in Robi (528 billion euros; £ 443 mil) in goods in imports of $ 370 billion, in accordance with the data on the US government.

The President specially raised concerns about car trade and agricultural products. Although some tariffs paused earlier this year to enable negotiations, 25% of the rates on the EU and aluminum steel remains in place.

European leaders continue to warn against escalation. France and Germany invited to the diplomatic solution, emphasizing that the tariffs would harm both economies.

The EU has threatened – and paused – their own measures against the United States.

It was said that 25% of the tariff was 18 billion ($ 20 billion) in the value of American goods entering Europe, but it was placed on hold.

The block is currently advised on additional measures against American imports in the US worth 95 billion euros.
