Donald Trump says EU to face a 30% tariff from 1 August
LAST UPDATE | 19 mins ago US PRESIDENT DONALD Trump has threatened to impose a 30% tariff on the European Union and Mexico, ramping up pressure for deals in his trade wars. Both sets of duties would take effect 1 August, Trump said in separate letters posted to his Truth Social platform, citing Mexico's role in illicit drugs flowing into the United States and a trade imbalance with the EU respectively. In a letter addressed to President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, Trump wrote that the US-EU trade relationship has been 'far from reciprocal' resulting in his decision to impose the 30% tariff from the beginning of next month. He said that if the EU were to retaliate and raise its own tariffs on US goods, the US would add the retaliatory amount to the 30%. Advertisement 'Please understand that these Tariffs are necessary to correct the many years of European Union Tariffs, and Non-Tariff, policies and Trade Barriers, which cause the large and unsustainable Trade deficits against the United States,' he wrote. 'The Deficit is a major threat to our Economy and, indeed, our National Security!' The EU tariff is markedly steeper than the 20% levy Trump unveiled in April, as negotiations with the bloc continue. The EU, alongside dozens of other economies, had been set to see its US tariff level increase from a baseline of 10% on Wednesday, but Trump pushed back the deadline to 1 August just days before the elevated rates were due to take effect. Since the start of the week, Trump has sent out letters to more than 20 countries with updated tariffs for each. Readers like you are keeping these stories free for everyone...
