Massive 50% Tariffs Paused, Trump Gives EU Until July 9

Image

The move also prevents immediate market volatility and gives both sides crucial time to hammer out a deal. Right now, the situation where 50% tariffs paused EU negotiations offers some hope for avoiding what could have been a devastating trade war between two economic superpowers.
