President Trump extends the deadline for 50% tariffs on EU goods to July 9 after a phone call with EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
The EU had been facing a 20% tariff, temporarily reduced to 10% until July 9 under reciprocal rates announced in April.
US equity-index futures rose after Trump's announcement, with discussions focusing on reducing tariffs to zero on goods and addressing non-tariff trade barriers.
Trump threatens a 50% tariff on $321 billion worth of US-EU goods trade, aiming to incentivize companies to manufacture in the US rather than overseas.
