"The United States has sent us a letter with the measures that will enter into force unless there is a negotiated solution, so we extend the suspension of our measures until August," Von der Leyen explained at a press conference from Brussels.
The President of the European Commission, who is responsible for European trade policy, has stressed that, although retaliation remains in abeyance, the EU is still preparing measures against it to be ready if negotiations with the White House finally fail.
"We are prepared to do so, and we can respond with opposite measures if necessary," Von der Leyen stressed.

But President Trump has warned that it could double these surcharges and bring them to 50%.
