European leaders call for ‘lowest possible’ border taxes after levies postponed from 1 June to 9 July
EU leaders have expressed hopes of a quick deal to resolve the trade war with the US after Donald Trump announced he was delaying his threatened 50% tariffs for the bloc until 9 July.
The US president said on Sunday that he would pause the border tax due to be imposed on 1 June, which he had announced two days earlier, after what he called a “very nice call” with the head of the EU executive, Ursula von der Leyen.
