Trump (US) Sets July 4 Ultimatum for EU Trade Deal Tariffs

President Trump has set a deadline of July 4 for the European Union (EU) to eliminate its tariffs on US goods, threatening higher tariffs if not met. Currently, a deal reached with the EU includes a 15% tariff on US exports, while Trump threatened up to 30% on European imports. A US trade court recently ruled that Trump's 10% global tariffs were not justified under US trade law, potentially impacting future tariff applications and negotiations. Despite progress reported by the EU's Ursula von der Leyen, the agreement requires approval from all 27 member states.
