EU Leaders Push For Quick Trade Deal With Trump To Avert Tariff War
The mood across Europe on Tuesday suggests growing urgency among several EU member states to secure a trade deal with the U.S., as they scramble to avert President Trump’s looming threat of 50% tariffs on European imports.
Financial Times reports that Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni held a call with President Trump after his tariff threat last Friday and, shortly after, urged European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to prioritize diplomacy over confrontation.
Von der Leyen succeeded in convincing President Trump to delay the tariff hike from June 1 to July 9 during a Sunday phone call. EU leaders, including those from France, Spain, Ireland, and Belgium, have all welcomed the move by the commission president to work with the U.S. president to defuse growing trade tensions and fast-track trade negotiations.
President Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Sunday that “talks will begin rapidly” with von der Leyen
