EU will put tariff retaliation on hold for 90 days to match Trump's pause

The European Union's executive commission said Thursday it will put its retaliation measures against new US tariffs on hold for 90 days to match President Donald Trump's pause on his sweeping new tariffs and leave room for a negotiated solution. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said that the commission, which handles trade for the 27 member countries, took note of the announcement by President Trump.

But she warned: If negotiations are not satisfactory, our countermeasures will kick in. Trump imposed a 20% levy on goods from the EU as part of his onslaught of tariffs against global trading partners but has said he will pause them for 90 days to give countries a chance to negotiate solutions to US trade concerns.
