Donald Trump has announced that it will impose 30% tariffs onall products in the European Union from August 1.

"From 1 August 2025, we will collect from the European Union only 30% tariffs on EU products sent to the United States, excluding all sectoral tariffs, "Trump reported in a letter published on the Truth Social platform, addressed to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

As he has done with other countries in previous days, Trump has announced that he will back down "if the European Union or its companies decide to manufacture products in the US."

"In fact, we will do everything we can to get the approvals quickly, professionally and routinely, that is, before weeks go by," the letter adds in its usual format: if the EU decides, for some reason, to increase tariffs and retaliate, "the amount it chooses to increase them will add to the 30% we charge. "
