EU and US Trade Relations: A Temporary Pause Amid Tariff Tensions

The European Union has announced a 90-day suspension of its retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods, aligning with President Donald Trump's decision to temporarily halt new tariffs on global trading partners. This move aims to foster negotiations and stabilize the strained trade relationship between the two economic powerhouses.
