Trump announced the introduction of tariffs on EU goods from August 1. He announced the rate

US President Donald Trump announced on Saturday on his social media platform Truth Social that on August 1 he will impose 30 percent tariffs on goods imported from the European Union and Mexico.

Trump posted copies of the letters regarding the new tariffs on Truth Social.

Shortly afterward, an EU official told Reuters that the announcement of 30 percent tariffs on European goods was a negotiating tactic by Trump.

On Wednesday morning, speaking at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen emphasized that the EU is "working closely" with the Donald Trump administration but is also preparing for "all scenarios." That same day, European Commission spokesman Olof Gill stated that the EU aims to conclude a trade agreement with the US before August 1st – the new deadline set by Washington for concluding negotiations.

The original 90-day suspension period for the tariffs announced by Trump expired on July 9.

Currently, EU products entering the US market are subject to a base tariff of 10 percent, but at one point the US president threatened the EU with tariffs of up to 50 percent.

According to the media, the EU wants to maintain customs duties at 10%, but at the same time obtain exemptions from duties for items such as aircraft, aircraft parts, and alcohol.

On Wednesday, the US president sent letters regarding new tariffs to Brazil, the Philippines, Brunei, Moldova, Algeria, Iraq and Libya; he also announced that other countries would receive letters regarding new tariffs soon.

Trump published the first batch of copies of the letters addressed to 14 countries online on Monday. Among the recipients were South Korea and Japan. Imports from these countries will face a 25 percent tariff.

Meanwhile, Reuters reports that for the first time, the total tariffs collected by the U.S. Customs Service in the first half of 2025 exceeded $100 billion, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent wrote on the X website that this proves the U.S. is benefiting from the president's trade policies. Earlier this week, Bessent stated that he expects the tariffs collected by the end of the year to be worth $300 billion. (PAP)

Meanwhile, Reuters reports that for the first time the sum of tariffs collected by the American customs in the first half of 2025 exceeded $ 100 billion, and the head of the Ministry of Finance Scott Bessent wrote on the website X that it proves that the US derive the benefits of the president's commercial policy. At the beginning of the passing week, Bessent stated that he was counting on the fact that the duties collected by the end of the year would be worth $ 300 billion. (PAP)
