Trump's Tariff Tempest: EU's July 4th Juncture Jeopardised
US President Donald Trump has given the European Union until July 4, 2026, to honour its Turnberry trade deal commitments or face sharply higher tariffs. The warning came after a phone call with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. A 25% tariff on European vehicles is among the threatened measures. EU trade negotiators say progress is being made, with key talks scheduled for May 12 & May 19, though divisions among member states remain a significant obstacle.
