The EU chief says she is ready to strike a deal with Washington after U.S. President Trump threatened 50% tariffs on the bloc.
EU chief Ursula von der Leyen said she had a “good call” with U.S. President Donald Trump after he threatened to impose 50% tariffs on the bloc.

Following the call, Trump agreed to pause the tariff threat until July 9.
