Caption: EU Postpones Tariffs on US Goods Amid Rising Tensions. The European Union has once again delayed its planned retaliatory tariffs on US goods, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen confirmed on Sunday. The tariffs—originally set to hit €21 billion worth of American exports—were a response to President Donald Trump's steel and aluminium duties. Initially suspended in March, the measures will now remain on hold until early August, just as EU trade ministers prepare to meet in Brussels to decide next steps. Trump, in a letter to von der Leyen, warned of 30% tariffs on EU imports starting August 1, and threatened to go even higher if the EU responds in kind. In a Fox News interview, the president defended his stance, saying the tariffs are bringing in “hundreds of billions of dollars” despite some countries being "very upset now”.
