EU-US trade talks: European bloc halts tariff retaliation after Trump deal; pause expected to last six months

US President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen (Photo: AP) In a major step towards easing trade tensions, the European Union announced on Tuesday that it will suspend its planned retaliatory tariffs on US goods worth 93 billion euros ($107 billion). The move follows a deal struck last month between US President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. EU trade spokesperson Olof Gill confirmed the suspension: 'The Commission has today adopted the necessary legal procedures to suspend the implementation of our EU countermeasures, which were due to kick in on August 7.' The suspension of tariffs marks a significant concession from the 27-member bloc, one of America's biggest trading partners. The pause is expected to last six months, reports CNBC. It comes after weeks of negotiations between Trump and von der Leyen over tariff disputes and broader trade issues. 'On 27 July 2025, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and US President Donald J. Trump agreed a deal on tariffs and trade,' the EU Commission spokesperson for trade had said in a statement. The EU described the agreement as one that restores 'stability and predictability for citizens and businesses on both sides of the Atlantic.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why Mr. Chirag Jain never exits a trade in loss — even when he's wrong TradeWise Learn More Undo The Commission also said it would 'continue to work with the US to finalise a Joint Statement, as agreed on 27 July.' As part of the deal, Trump announced 15 per cent tariffs on most European goods entering the US. In return, the EU pledged to remove several trade barriers, including the elimination of all EU tariffs on US industrial exports. The White House also claimed the EU would buy $750 billion worth of US energy and invest another $600 billion into the American economy. However, questions remain over how these commitments will be fulfilled, as the EU cannot mandate private companies to make such purchases. The EU has clarified that the July deal is a political agreement and 'not legally binding.' A senior EU official said both sides were working on the details of the leaders' agreement and hoped to share more information "very, very soon". An EU official also warned that the suspension could be reversed if talks break down. "We put it back into the freezer and we can always take it out if needed, so we can always unsuspend the suspension," the senior EU official said. Following the deal, EU exports will face a 15 per cent tariff starting August 8. This rate is higher than it was before Trump returned to the White House but still much lower than the 30 per cent he had earlier threatened.

Government fast-tracks delayed projects: 923 pending road completions under review; over Rs 7.7 lakh crore cost estimated

Representative image The Road Transport and Highways Ministry has accelerated pending road projects, with the goal of finalising 50% by the end of March through expedited clearances, swifter land procurement, and timely central funding allocation, a senior official told ET. "The ministry has identified low-hanging projects along with issues resulting in delay of these projects and is moving ahead with targeted intervention to streamline work on these projects," the official said on condition of anonymity. "Besides, a strict monitoring mechanism has been put in place to ensure that they meet the fresh date of completion with monthly review of these projects being done at the highest level," the official added. Data from the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation shows that the Road Transport and Highways Ministry is currently overseeing 923 projects, with most having surpassed their initial completion dates. The total expenditure projection for these projects stands at Rs 7.7 lakh crore, exceeding both the revised estimate of Rs 7.6 lakh crore and the initial budget of Rs 7.3 lakh crore. In the June quarter, 81 road projects were completed, representing 69.8% of the 116 finished Central infrastructure projects across sectors. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Unsold 2021 Cars Now Almost Free - Prices May Surprise You Unsold Cars | Search Ads Learn More Undo This showed substantial improvement from the previous year's figure of 59 road projects, which constituted 56.2% of 105 completed central projects. An ET analysis showed that roads and highways accounted for 32 of 42 infrastructure projects (76.2%) completed in June. Additionally, the road sector contributed 24 of the 40 projects finished in May. This assessment considers projects valued at ₹150 crore or more, indicating substantial progress in the road transport and highways sector. Several projects faced considerable delays before completion. For example, the NH-219 rehabilitation in Andhra Pradesh took 9 years and 8 months, despite its original October 2015 deadline. The four-laning project of NH-361's Waranga Mahagaon section in Maharashtra was completed after 8 years and 3 months, having initially been scheduled for March 2017.
