Maroš Šefčovič is set to return to Washington for the third time since Donald Trump resumed the U.S. presidency in January. His latest visit follows a surprising move by Trump, who decided to temporarily halt parts of his controversial “Liberation Day” tariffs while sharply increasing tariffs on Chinese goods—bringing the total to 145 percent.
In response, the European Union announced it would suspend its planned retaliatory measures for 90 days, in an effort to de-escalate transatlantic trade tensions.
Despite the temporary pause, the U.S. continues to impose a 10 percent blanket tariff on all global imports, along with additional duties of 25 percent on materials such as steel, aluminum, and automobiles.
