The EU suspended its own package of retaliatory tariffs after Trump set out a 90-day pause to the bulk of his planned import duties, which would have meant a broad 20% tariff on all goods brought in from the EU.

The European Union must continue to work on all necessary tariff countermeasures to protect itself, French President Emmanuel Macron said.

French President Emmanuel Macron said Friday that U.S. President Donald Trump’s move to suspend his most punishing tariffs for 90 days offers only a “fragile" pause in tensions — but a vital opportunity for negotiations.
