EU, US trade chiefs to speak after Trump tariff reprieve | AFP

The EU’s trade chief and their US counterpart will speak, spokesperson for the European Commission Paula Pinho says, after President Donald Trump agreed to delay slapping 50-percent tariffs on the bloc to allow more time for negotiations. "The discussions will continue as early as already this afternoon, where commissioner (Maros) Sefcovic will have a call with secretary for trade, (Howard) Lutnick," spokesperson Paula Pinho said, after Trump granted the reprieve following a call with EU chief Ursula von der Leyen on Sunday.
