EU Puts Retaliatory Actions Against U.S. On Hold After Trump’s Tariff Pause

The European Union will put retaliatory tariffs on the United States on hold following President Donald Trump’s Wednesday announcement that he was pausing most tariffs on all countries except China. 

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Thursday that the body would put a 90-day pause on its retaliatory actions in order for negotiations to take place. That is the same amount of time that Trump said he would pause most tariffs on all countries but China to work out trade deals that are more favorable to the United States.
