The European Union has been engaging “sensibly” with the US administration over its threatened tariffs on all EU imports, Ireland’s premier has said, as he welcomed a decision to pause the move until July.

Taoiseach Micheal Martin said he believes the US is anxious to reach a deal on trade with the EU, and that Donald Trump’s administration has issues it wants resolved through the negotiations.
