President Trump sent a letter to the EU on the 12th stating that he would impose a 30% reciprocal tariff starting August 1. Reuters reported, citing EU officials, that the EU is conducting internal reviews to negotiate tariffs with the U.S., proposing to impose a 15% reciprocal tariff on all EU goods exported to the United States and setting a 50% tariff rate on EU steel and aluminum.
