President Donald Trump said Sunday that he agreed to an extension on the 50% tariff deadline on the European Union until July 9.
“I received a call today from Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, requesting an extension on the June 1st deadline on the 50% Tariff with respect to Trade and the European Union,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“I agreed to the extension — July 9, 2025 — It was my privilege to do so,” he added.
Trump’s post came after Von der Leyen said that she had a “good call” with Trump, but needed until July 9 to “reach a good deal.”
“The EU and US share the world’s most consequential and close trade relationship,” she wrote on X.
“Europe is ready to advance talks swiftly and decisively,” she continued.
