Tariffs, the EU's response. Von der Leyen: "We're working to reach an agreement by August 1st."

The European Union “has taken note” of the letter in which US President Trump announced 30% tariffs on EU products starting August 1 and “remains ready to continue working towards reaching an agreement ” by that date, wrote the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen , stressing that “imposing 30% tariffs on EU exports would disrupt essential transatlantic supply chains, to the detriment of businesses, consumers and patients on both sides of the Atlantic”.
