Trump delays 50% tariffs on E.U. to July 9

President Donald Trump said Sunday that he agreed to an extension on the 50% tariff deadline on the European Union until July 9.

“Today, Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, reached out to me requesting an extension on the June 1 deadline concerning a 50% tariff related to trade with the European Union,” Trump shared on Truth Social.

“I agreed to the extension — July 9, 2025 — It was my privilege to do so,” he added.

Trump’s post came after Von der Leyen said that she had a “good call” with Trump, but needed until July 9 to “reach a good deal.”

“The EU and US share the world’s most consequential and close trade relationship,” she wrote on X.

“Europe is ready to advance talks swiftly and decisively,” she continued.

Trump imposed 20% tariffs on the EU as part of his sweeping “reciprocal tariffs,” before slashing the rate down to 10% for 90 days.

However, just last week, Trump proposed a “straight 50% tariff” on the EU starting June 1, citing challenges in dealing with the 27-nation bloc.

“Our discussions with them are going nowhere!” Trump wrote Friday on Truth Social.

He later said that he was not planning to strike a deal with the EU before June 1.

During a White House executive order signing event, he commented, “I simply stated that it’s time to approach this matter using my strategy.”
