President Trump has announced a 50% tariff on European Union goods starting June 1, 2025, with exemptions for products built or manufactured in the United States of America.
The tariff announcement is part of negotiations as discussions with the EU have not been fruitful, aiming to address trade deficits and barriers.
The Trump administration has criticized the EU for regulations on American technology firms, threatening tariffs to combat what they see as unfair practices.
