The European Union will not face higher tariffs from the United States, unlike several other countries that received letters from US President Donald Trump Monday informing them of sharply higher tariffs on goods starting 1 August.
In letters to 14 countries so far, including Japan and South Korea, as well as smaller exporters Serbia, Thailand and Tunisia, Trump said he would be imposing an additional 25 percent tariffs from 1 August, warning them against imposing their own tariffs.
