'At a certain point, we're just going to send letters out. And I think you understand that, saying this is the deal, you can take it or leave it,' Trump told reporters Wednesday at the Kennedy Center in Washington where he was attending a performance.

Trump delays 50 percent tariff threat to European Union until July 9
President Donald Trump has delayed imposing 50 percent tariffs on the European Union, pushing the deadline from June 1 to July 9. On Friday, Trump said he was recommending a 'straight 50% tariff' on the EU starting June 1. Trump claimed leaders had been 'very difficult to deal with' and that discussions were 'going nowhere.' Now, the president says he moved the deadline after European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen requested an extension. 'I received a call today from Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, requesting an extension on the June 1st deadline on the 50% Tariff with respect to Trade and the European Union,' Trump wrote on Truth Social. 'I agreed to the extension — July 9, 2025 — It was my privilege to do so. The Commission President said that talks will begin rapidly.' Von der Leyen said she had a 'good call' with Trump. 'The EU and the US share the world's most consequential and close trade relationship,' Von der Leyen wrote on X. 'Europe is ready to advance talks swiftly and decisively.' Trump told reporters the call was 'very nice' while taking questions on the tarmac at Joint Base Andrews. 'I agreed to do that, and she said, 'We will rapidly get together and see if we could work something out,'' Trump said of Von der Leyen. The markets dropped sharply after Trump announced the 50 percent tariffs on Friday. The S&P 500 fell 1.1 percent in early trading, the tech-heavy Nasdaq fell 1.6 percent and the Dow Jones Industrial Average also fell 1 percent. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Trump hoped the new tariff threat would 'light a fire' under EU officials in trade talks with U.S. negotiators. Trump 'believes that the EU proposals have not been of the same quality that we've seen from our other important trading partners,' Bessent told Fox News on Friday. This is a breaking news story.

Trump extends trade deal deadline for EU after ‘good call' with commission leader
President Trump on Sunday agreed to extend a deadline for the European Union to avoid punishing 50 percent tariffs on their exports to the United States following a phone call from the president of the EU's executive branch. The agreement means the EU and the U.S. will have until July 9 to reach a deal that would prevent the higher tariffs from being imposed. Trump had previously suggested the tariffs could be put in place on June 1. Trump said the talks had been initiated by the EU. 'I received a call today from Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, requesting an extension on the June 1st deadline on the 50% Tariff with respect to Trade and the European Union. I agreed to the extension — July 9, 2025 — It was my privilege to do so,' Trump wrote on Truth Social. 'The Commission President said that talks will begin rapidly. Thank you for your attention to this matter!' Von der Leyen had earlier in a post on the social platform X said the talks had been positive. 'Good call with @POTUS,' von der Leyen wrote. 'The EU and US share the world's most consequential and close trade relationship. Europe is ready to advance talks swiftly and decisively. To reach a good deal, we would need the time until July 9,' she stated. Trump expressed frustration with Europe's negotiators on Friday in threatening a 50 percent tariff, which would have more than doubled an earlier 20 percent tariff he had discussed imposing on imports from the EU nations. 'The European Union, which was formed for the primary purpose of taking advantage of the United States on TRADE, has been very difficult to deal with,' he wrote. 'Their powerful Trade Barriers, Vat Taxes, ridiculous Corporate Penalties, Non-Monetary Trade Barriers, Monetary Manipulations, unfair and unjustified lawsuits against Americans Companies, and more, have led to a Trade Deficit with the U.S. of more than $250,000,000 a year, a number which is totally unacceptable.' Treasury Department Secretary Scott Bessent later on Friday said the threat was meant to light a fire under the EU. 'I believe the president believes that the EU proposals have not been of the same quality that we've seen from our other important trading partners,' Bessent said on Fox News's 'America's Newsroom.' 'I'm not going to negotiate on TV, but I would hope that this would light a fire under the EU,' he added. The White House has reached precious few trade deals with countries on the 'Liberation Day' tariffs. The only announced trade deal so far is one with Great Britain. Trump meanwhile has paused a number of tariffs, which initially had caused stock markets in the U.S. to plummet while triggering fears of a recession. His steps away from a trade war included dramatically lowering tariffs that had been imposed on China's imports. Markets bounced back, seemingly in response to those moves, though they ended with down days last week amid fears about new tariffs from Trump and increased U.S. debt.
