The threat of an imminent trade war has eased after President Trump postponed the rollout of punitive tariffs on EU imports. With the new deadline set for July 9, European leaders are hoping for lasting peace.
Trump highlighted his “very nice call” with von der Leyen as part of the rationale behind the pause. EU officials are using the time to double down on negotiations, aiming for a breakthrough before the new deadline.
The EU’s strategy hinges on tariff cuts for autos and industrial goods, part of a broader vision to stabilize transatlantic trade and avoid tit-for-tat escalations.
