The European Union suspended the declining definitions against the United States in favor of negotiating a deal, saying it “took note” about the tariff in Trump in every country except China.
“We want to give negotiations an opportunity,” said the head of the European Commission, as it reflected the move of President Donald Trump to suspend the customs tariff around the world except for China commercial.
Only the European Union approved its “revenge duties” on Wednesday afternoon, in response to Donald Trump’s tariff and aluminum, which was reduced from the previous proposals and entered into only a small part of what the United States suggested imposing. Now a few hours later, this moderate response was suspended, as Ursula von der Lin said: “We have noticed President Trump’s announcement” and they said they will perform their measures “waiting for 90 days.”
This is to allow negotiations for a commercial agreement, and if the European Union’s tariff – of course, the Union has already has a wide network of definitions and other commercial barriers to protect its local market that has been sowing for many years – will be completely canceled.
European Commission President Ursula von der Layen speaks during a press conference with Norwegian Prime Minister at the headquarters of the European Union Committee in Brussels on April 7, 2025.
Von der Layen, who was known as the Minister of Defense by alleviating Angela Merkel, but succeeded in obtaining a job in the European High Commissioner, and indicated the desire to appear strongly with her consensus with President Trump. In fact, I warned today that “the preparatory work on more counter measures continues … all options remain on the table.”
For his part, President Trump was not shy in revealing that countries around the world have been superior to his talks since he announced the global mutual tariff plan now suspended, and the European Union is one of these forces. Behind the rhetoric of the warring somewhat and dipped the toe in the trade war seen in public places, behind closed doors, the bloc works for a deal with the United States.
But as Trump expressed, the first two engines will be the largest bonuses for deals, and it seems that the most flexible countries like the United Kingdom or Japan are ready to connect an agreement first. While the European Union may be real in its desire to communicate with Washington in its mission to rebuild World Trade settlement, the basic obstacles to the solid union, such as its lack of movement of movement, will inevitably slow down.
