US President Donald Trump announces 30 per cent tariffs on imports from EU starting in weeks

The fresh tariffs were announced in separate letters on his Truth Social platform, revealing that the tariffs will come into effect on August 1.

The EU tariff is also reported to be significantly higher than the 20 per cent that Donald Trump announced in April, while negotiations with the bloc are still ongoing.
