US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order imposing a wave of new tariffs on imports from more than 90 countries. The levies – ranging from 10 to 41 percent – had been due to enter force Friday but were pushed back by a week. The trade conflict has reignited tensions between Washington and its traditional allies, with President Emmanuel Macron urging the EU to take a tougher stance.
The duties, announced earlier this week by US President Donald Trump, include a 15 percent tariff on most goods coming from the European Union. Other trade partners including India, Brazil and Canada, are also affected.
