. European Union In a statement on Monday, he announced that he would suspend the counter -planned measures against the tariffs of the United States, which will enter into force this week for six months.
“On July 27, 2025, the European Commission President Ursula von Der Leyen and US President Donald J. Trump adopted an agreement on tariffs and trade. He said.
The spokesman returned the contract as “stability and predictability for citizens and businesses on both sides of the Atlantic”.

The pause on counter measures is expected to officially enter into force on Tuesday.
The White House did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comments about the European Union announcement.
The delay represents a concession from one of the largest trade partners of the United States after weeks of negotiations between Trump and von der leyen.
Last month, Trump announced a trade agreement to the US, including cars, a trading agreement with 15% tariffs in most European goods.
White House as part of the agreement he said “The EU will remove important tariffs, including the elimination of all EU tariffs on the US industrial goods exported to the EU.”
Trump also said that the 27 -member block agreed to buy US energy of 750 billion dollars and to invest $ 600 billion in the US over existing levels.
However, it is not clear exactly who will invest or how. Economic block does not have the authority to force us to buy private companies to buy oil or American cereals.
An EU statement about the July Agreement stressed that this is a political agreement and is not “legally binding”.
“Beyond the undertaking urgent actions, the EU and the United States will negotiate more to fully implement the political agreement in accordance with the internal procedures.” He said.
