Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived in Washington to have talks with President Donald Trump on Monday, as he faces intense pressure from the U.S. to strike a rapid peace deal with Russia that could force Kyiv into painful territorial concessions.In a series of&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115047128460078066">Truth Social posts</a> on Monday, Trump said Zelenskyy “can end the war with Russia almost immediately, if he wants to, or he can continue to fight,” adding there would be “NO GOING INTO NATO BY UKRAINE” and “no getting back Obama-given Crimea.”&nbsp;He also boasted of hosting “so many European Leaders at one time” at the White House and lashed out at&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115046837910548412">“Fake News”</a> outlets for portraying his Alaska summit with Vladimir Putin as a defeat.The meeting with Zelenskyy comes just after Trump’s talks with Putin in Anchorage,&nbsp;a city in Alaska, where the Russian leader demanded that Ukraine cede the entirety of Donetsk and Luhansk, the industrial Donbas region that Moscow has sought to control since 2014, while freezing battle lines in Zaporizhzhia and Kherson.&nbsp;Russia might also withdraw from small pockets in northeastern Ukraine, but the outcome would still leave Moscow with far more than it has been able to seize militarily, Bloomberg&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-08-17/uneasy-us-allies-set-to-plead-with-trump-to-stand-behind-ukraine?srnd=homepage-asia">reported</a>.Trump, who dropped his earlier insistence on a ceasefire before negotiations, told allies he wanted a deal struck quickly, ideally within a week, and that he would push Zelenskyy toward a direct meeting with Putin.&nbsp;European diplomats, however, regard the timeline as unrealistic and voiced frustration that Putin appeared to gain the most from the Alaska summit.Zelenskyy, speaking alongside European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Brussels before departing, warned that “it is impossible to go do this [Putin’s demands] under the pressure of weapons” and insisted a ceasefire was needed first.&nbsp;He has also reiterated that Ukraine will not agree to trade land, a stance backed by most Ukrainians, even as public support has softened amid heavy casualties.In a X post late Sunday, Zelenskyy&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/ZelenskyyUa/status/1957271398902039032?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet">confirmed</a> his tryst with Trump. The Ukrainian president said, “Tomorrow I am meeting with President Trump. Tomorrow we are also speaking with European leaders.

I am confident that we will defend Ukraine, effectively guarantee security, and that our people will always be grateful to President Trump, everyone in America, and every partner and ally for their support and invaluable assistance.”European leaders, including NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and Finnish President Alexander Stubb, are joining Zelenskyy in Washington to seek clarity on what security guarantees the U.S. is willing to offer.&nbsp;“Big day at the White House tomorrow.

Why Global ETFs Could Surge Amid U.S.-Japan Trade Deal 

As tariff tensions ease and investor sentiment improves, global ETFs like ACWI are poised for a rally. 

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said on Sunday that the European Union (EU) may not&nbsp;resort to retaliatory&nbsp;measures concerning the ongoing tariff issues between the U.S. and the 27-nation bloc.Speaking on CBS News’ “Face The Nation” on Sunday, Lutnick said he was on the phone with European trade negotiators and expressed confidence that a deal would be reached. “I am confident we'll get a deal done,” he&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.cbsnews.com/video/720-face-the-nation/">said</a>, adding that “it will be great for America.”Earlier this month, Trump threatened 30% levies on imports from the region in a letter to the European Commission (EC) President, Ursula von der Leyen. The EU as a group is America’s biggest trading partner.&nbsp;Despite tariff uncertainty, the stock markets of the U.S. and Europe have continued to press ahead resolutely. The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY)</a>, an exchange-traded fund that tracks the S&amp;P 500 Index, has gained 7.72% this year, while the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/IEV">iShares Europe ETF (IEV)</a> has gained over 23%.Sentiment toward SPY and IEV ETFs remained 'neutral' on Stocktwits late Sunday, with the message volume at 'normal' levels.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:624/59;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_07_20_at_11_10_53_PM_png_bfb10355ed.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-07-20 at 11.10.53 PM.png" width="624" height="59"><figcaption>SPY sentiment and message volume as of 11:11 p.m. ET, July 20 | source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:621/57;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_07_20_at_11_12_21_PM_png_4a48269b4e.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-07-20 at 11.12.21 PM.png" width="621" height="57"><figcaption>IEV sentiment and message volume as of 11:11 p.m. ET, July 20 | source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>&nbsp;Officials of the bloc’s member nations have voiced their opposition to U.S. tariff threats and mulled retaliatory tariffs on goods from across the Atlantic as well as levies on services. EU officials also discussed using&nbsp;an anti-coercion instrument (ACI) to ward off tariff threats.&nbsp;When asked whether the Trump administration’s Aug. 1 deadline was a hard one or whether it would slide, Lutnick said, “No, no, that's a hard deadline.”“So, on August 1, the new tariff rates will come in. But, nothing stops countries from talking to us after August 1, but they're going to start paying the tariffs on August 1.”&nbsp;The tariff levies would help pay off the U.S.’s deficit, he said, adding that “This is going to make America stronger.”Lutnick also&nbsp;explored the current state of affairs between the U.S. and its North American neighbors, Canada and Mexico. “We have a plan called USMCA. U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement. Virtually 75% of all goods coming from Mexico and Canada already come in tariff-free,” he said.“The President said, ‘Look, unless you stop this fentanyl and close the border, we're just going to keep tariffs on the other 25%’ and that's what he has on.”For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/japan-s-ruling-party-loses-grip-as-trump-tariff-deadline-looms/ch8qvTDR5A4">Japan's Ruling Party Loses Grip As Trump Tariff Deadline Looms: What Happens Next?</a>

Trump Commerce Secretary Lutnick Confident Of Sealing ‘Great’ EU Trade Deal, Calls August 1 ‘Hard Deadline’

Earlier this month, Trump threatened 30% levies on imports from the EU in a letter to the European Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen.

Shortly after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 30% levy on the European Union (EU), the 27-nation bloc has drawn up plans to hit back with retaliatory levies.The EU is preparing a list of U.S. exports that could be slapped with retaliatory tariffs if a bilateral deal is not clinched by the Aug. 1 deadline, the Wall Street Journal&nbsp;reported. The items being considered&nbsp;reportedly include aircraft, machinery, automotive products, chemicals, plastics, alcoholic beverages, fruits, vegetables, coffee, and medical devices.The new list readied by the EU and circulated among member states covered U.S. exports to the region that were valued at about $84 billion in 2024, the report&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.wsj.com/world/europe/trump-tariffs-eu-response-eb30fc55?mod=newsviewer_click&amp;adobe_mc=MCMID%3D74537243080012175182679892959762943330%7CMCORGID%3DCB68E4BA55144CAA0A4C98A5%2540AdobeOrg%7CTS%3D1752542268&amp;_gl=1*svfuph*_gcl_au*MTc0MTM5NTM3NS4xNzUwNzcwMzkw*_ga*MTg1Mzg3MjI1NS4xNzE4OTcyNDYz*_ga_K2H7B9JRSS*czE3NTI1NDIwNTkkbzQwJGcxJHQxNzUyNTQyMTcwJGo0MiRsMSRoMjAwMzc4MzkxNA">said.</a> The sector-wise breakup revealed that about $77 billion worth of U.S. industrial imports and $7 billion worth of agricultural and food product imports would be brought under the tariff net.&nbsp;The EU was initially toying with countermeasures in response to Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs announced in early April, but decided to keep them on hold after the U.S. president suspended most levies for 90 days, except the baseline 10% rate. EU officials were also considering whether to expand the list to include levies or other restrictions on American services, in addition to physical goods.Trump, meanwhile, softened his tone regarding EU tariffs by suggesting that the recipients of his letters “would like to do a different kind of a deal, and we’re always open to talk…including to Europe.”The major euro area stocks fell on Monday, with the&nbsp; Euro STOXX 50 Index ending the session down 0.23%.&nbsp;The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY)</a> has gained 7.25% so far this year compared to a steeper 24% gain for the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/IEV">iShares Europe ETF (IEV)</a>. The SPY was among the top 20 trending tickers on Stocktwits late Monday and the most active ticker by message volume.&nbsp;On Stocktwits, sentiment toward SPY has improved to ‘neutral’ (48/100) by late Monday from ‘bearish’ a day ago.Responding to the 30% levy Trump announced Friday, EU trade chief Maros Sefcovic said the rate would be “effectively prohibitive” on trade between the two economies, but he showed a willingness to negotiate.&nbsp;Sefcovic, however, said that the ministers from the EU 27 member states who met in Brussels on Monday showed the strongest resolve he had witnessed since the bloc began discussing with the U.S. to retaliate if an agreement can’t be reached. “Everything is on the table, but we’ll take it step by step,” he said.EU President and Dutch Foreign Minister Looke Rasmussen echoed a similar sentiment. “The EU remains ready to react and that includes robust and proportionate countermeasures if required, and there was a strong feeling in the room of unity,” he said, Al Jazeera&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/7/14/eu-warns-of-countermeasures-after-trump-threatens-30-percent-tariffs">reported.&nbsp;</a>Italy’s Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani suggested that the union has drawn up plans to impose levies on U.S. goods worth $24.5 billion.&nbsp;The Journal also&nbsp;noted the EU hasn’t ruled out the usage of “anticoercion instrument,” which would allow the bloc to apply levies on American services such as financial services and digital products such as online advertising.&nbsp;This relatively untested option could also include restricting American companies’ intellectual property rights in Europe or making it harder for them to participate in public tenders.European Commission (EC) President Ursula von der Leyen said on Sunday&nbsp;that the anticoercion instrument was for extraordinary situations and that “We are not there yet.”For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/kevin-hassett-says-trump-tariffs-not-causing-inflation-because-of-patriotism/ch89EFqR5nQ">Kevin Hassett Defends Trump’s Leadership, Says Patriotism Is Keeping Inflation At Bay</a>

EU Fires Back At Trump With Threat Of $84B Tariffs On US Exports As Trade Deal Deadline Nears

The sector-wise breakup revealed that about $77 billion worth of U.S. industrial imports and $7 billion worth of agricultural and food product imports would be brought under the tariff net. 

As President Donald Trump sent letters to the European Union (EU) and Mexico over the weekend, the 27-nation bloc is reportedly looking to rally together other nations hit with a similar predicament.On Saturday, Trump shared on Truth Social screenshots of a letter he sent to European Commission (EC) President Ursula von der Leyen in which he warned of a 30% tariff rate that would be applicable if the EU does not clinch a trade deal by Aug. 1.&nbsp;As has been the case with the letters the president sent last week to over 20 countries, he clarified&nbsp;that the 30% rate is in addition to the sectoral tariffs.&nbsp;He also discussed a higher levy for transshipped goods, promised&nbsp;an exemption if companies from the bloc decided to set up manufacturing in the U.S., and vowed to retaliate if the EU&nbsp;reciprocated.&nbsp;Trump’s barrage of letters to trading partners&nbsp;has created uncertainty in the markets. The U.S. stock futures fell in overnight trading. The market, however, has largely stayed resilient, with the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY)</a> up 7% so far this year. The iShares Europe ETF (IEV) is up a steeper 24% year-to-date.The SPY was the most active ticker on Stocktwits late Sunday, with the sentiment toward the ETF remaining ‘bearish.’In a statement released in response to Trump’s letter, the EC said, “We take note of the letter sent by [the] U.S. President Trump outlining a revised tariff rate and a new timeline.”“Imposing 30 percent tariffs on EU exports would disrupt essential transatlantic supply chains, to the detriment of businesses, consumers, and patients on both sides of the Atlantic.”While stating that it would continue working toward an agreement by Aug, the EU said, “We will take all necessary steps to safeguard EU interests, including the adoption of proportionate countermeasures if required.”It also said it looked to deepen its global partnerships, firmly anchored in the principles of rules-based international trade.Separately, Bloomberg&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-13/eu-to-extend-suspension-of-countermeasures-to-allow-for-us-talks">said</a> Sunday, citing people familiar with the matter, that the EU was attempting to establish contacts with countries, including Canada and Japan, to explore the potential for coordination.Von der Leyen told reporters in Brussels the EU’s anti-coercion instrument (ACI), which was created for “extraordinary situations,” wouldn’t be used at this point. “We are not there yet,” she said.French President Emmanuel Macron hit out at the U.S. on X, calling&nbsp;on the EC to assert the union’s determination to defend European interests resolutely. “In particular, this implies speeding up the preparation of credible countermeasures, by mobilising all the instruments at its disposal, including anti-coercion, if no agreement is reached by August 1st.”Early last week, a Bloomberg report&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/after-trump-ultimatum-eu-pushes-for-preliminary-trade-deal-with-us/chFvOBsR5QK">said</a> the EU was scrambling&nbsp;to negotiate a preliminary trade deal framework with the U.S. to sidestep a steeper rate, beginning in early August. The U.S.’s biggest trading partner also sought an exemption from the 10% base levy for key items, including aircraft, aircraft parts, as well as wine and spirits.Trump also dispatched a letter to Mexico, threatening the country with a tariff rate similar to the one imposed on the EU.&nbsp;For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.CORRECTION: A previous version of this article incorrectly stated that President Trump sent a new tariff letter to Brazil over the weekend.

In its response, the European Commission said imposing 30% tariffs on EU exports would disrupt essential transatlantic supply chains, to the detriment of businesses, consumers, and patients on both sides of the Atlantic

Even as President Donald Trump announced on Monday fresh tariffs for key trading partners that would take effect by Aug. 1, the European Union (EU) is reportedly striving to clinch a preliminary trade deal before the deadline.A Bloomberg report, citing people familiar with the matter, said the deal envisaged by the 27-nation trading bloc would seek to firm up a 10% levy beyond the August deadline, allowing it more time to negotiate a permanent agreement.Additionally, the EU&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-07/eu-rushes-to-conclude-a-framework-trade-deal-with-us-this-week">seeks</a>&nbsp;an exemption from the 10% base levy for key items, including aircraft, aircraft parts, as well as wine and spirits. These measures are reportedly part of the framework that is being discussed by the two sides.U.S. stocks fell on Monday in response to President Trump's tariff-related announcements,&nbsp;despite having so far weathered the looming threat fairly well. The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY)</a>, an exchange-traded fund that tracks the broader S&amp;P 500 Index, is up&nbsp;6.5% year-to-date compared to&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/IEV">iShares Europe ETF’s (IEV)</a> 23% rally.The SPY ETF was the most active ticker on Stocktwits late Monday, with the sentiment toward the ETF ‘bullish,’ although worsening from the ‘extremely bullish’ stance a day ago.Among the other concessions discussed are a reduction of the 25% tariffs imposed by the U.S. on auto and auto parts, as well as the 50% rate that applies to steel and&nbsp;aluminum. However, an immediate resolution to these levies is unlikely.The U.S. and the EU are, however, discussing a&nbsp;middle-ground&nbsp;approach that would allow European companies manufacturing cars in the U.S. to export a certain number of units without any levy.Meanwhile, the U.S. is reportedly mulling the introduction&nbsp;of tariffs for other sectors, such as pharmaceuticals and semiconductors.The European Commission, the executive arm of the EU, briefed member states on Monday regarding the status of the negotiations, which are entrusted with matters such as trade.&nbsp;The report also&nbsp;stated that any preliminary deal may only apply in the near term and may not be legally binding. The U.S. and the EU are also reportedly negotiating non-tariff barriers, digital trade, and economic security.Trump on Monday threatened to&nbsp;impose a 50% tariff on imports from the EU if its largest trading partner does not budge by the extended deadline. The EU, on the other hand, has approved tariffs on $24.6 billion worth of U.S. exports, which will begin to take effect when the latter’s metal levies&nbsp;come into effect. It has also prepared a list of tariffs on 95 billion euros ($115 billion) worth of U.S. products.&nbsp;For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/strategy-taps-4.2-billion-in-preferred-shares-to-buy-more-bitcoin/chFttI6R5Q7">Strategy Taps $4.2B In Preferred Shares To Buy More Bitcoin: Retail’s Exuberant</a>

The European Union (EU) is prepared to accept a 10% universal tariff on many of its exports to the US, but is pushing for lower rates or exemptions in key sectors including pharmaceuticals, alcohol, semiconductors, and commercial aircraft.The discussions come ahead of a&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/trump-s-tariff-deadline-nears-here-s-where-global-deals-stand-with-10-days-to-go/chmZbi1RRe4">July 9 deadline</a> set by U.S President Donald Trump, after which tariffs on nearly all EU exports could jump to 50%.&nbsp;The EU, which oversees trade policy for the bloc, considers the proposal to slightly favor the U.S. but&nbsp;feels it is potentially acceptable if critical sectoral concerns are addressed, according to a Bloomberg&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-30/eu-to-accept-trump-s-universal-tariff-but-seeks-key-exemptions?srnd=homepage-asia">report</a>.The bloc is also reportedly seeking exemptions from the present U.S. tariffs, which stand at 25% for vehicles and vehicle parts, and 50% for steel and aluminum materials.&nbsp;EU Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic is reportedly in Washington this week to lead a delegation seeking an interim agreement that would keep negotiations on track and avert a significant increase in tariffs.The U.S has submitted a proposal covering tariff and non-tariff barriers, as well as strategic cooperation, though full details have not yet been shared with EU member states.&nbsp;EU exporters shipped 52.8 billion euros ($62.2 billion) in cars and car parts to the U.S in 2024. Germany, Italy, and France were among the top shippers to the U.S market.The U.S has tariffs on about 70% of EU imports, or about €380 billion.The EU has approved retaliatory tariffs on 21 billion euros of U.S goods, with an additional 95 billion euros list prepared.&nbsp;Targets include Boeing aircraft, bourbon, soybeans, and U.S.-made vehicles.&nbsp;The bloc is also considering non-tariff responses such as export controls and procurement restrictions should talks fail.Officials reportedly outlined four scenarios: a balanced deal, an unacceptable U.S offer, a deadline extension, or Trump exiting talks and raising tariffs.&nbsp;In case of the last scenario, the EU would likely retaliate with all options.The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (SPY)</a>, which tracks the S&amp;P 500, is up 5.7% year-to-date, while the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/QQQ">Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (QQQ)</a>, which tracks the Nasdaq-100, has gained 8.1%.&nbsp;The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/DIA">SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust (DIA)</a> is also up 4% this year.Meanwhile,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/IEV">the iShares Europe ETF (IEV)</a> is up 21.9%so far this year.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment was ‘neutral’ for SPY, ‘extremely bearish’ for QQQ, and ‘bullish’ for both DIA and IEV; message volume was ‘normal’ across all ETFs, except for DIA, which saw ‘high’ activity.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

EU Willing To Accept 10% Tariff Deal, But Wants US To Cut Rates On Key Exports

The EU is also seeking relief from existing U.S. tariffs on autos, steel, and aluminum and has prepared retaliatory measures in case talks collapse ahead of the July 9 deadline. 

European Council President Antonio Costa on Monday called for deprioritizing trade and shifting the focus to more significant matters, such as the region’s defence.According to a Reuters report, Costa said, “The main issue between Europe and the United States is precisely about European defence, and we should focus on.”“Because this is the main issue, we should avoid introducing other issues that undermine our economic capacity to assume greater responsibility on our own defence."The EU official made the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/not-time-mess-with-eu-us-trade-eus-costa-says-2025-06-16/">comments</a> while speaking to reporters along with EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen ahead of the G7 meeting in the Canadian Rockies.After recommending the imposition of a 50% tariff on EU exports in May, President Trump reversed course and suspended the implementation until July 9. He then clarified that the reprieve was in response to Von der Leyen's request.The EU chief welcomed the move and expressed the 27-nation bloc’s willingness to advance talks swiftly and decisively.&nbsp;While speaking on Monday, Von der Leyen confirmed that the U.S.-EU talks were now focused on details but said there is no guarantee that a deal would be clinched.&nbsp;"That's why this is not the right moment to create uncertainty on economics,” said Costa. “It is not the right moment to create problems on trade, because we need to strengthen our economic basis.”The official also said the two days of&nbsp;the G7 gatherings will provide an opportunity to discuss problems between allies and friends.The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY)</a> gained 2.17% for the year, while the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/IEV">iShares Europe ETF (IEV)&nbsp;</a>gained about 22%.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/most-stocktwits-users-expect-sp-500-to-climb-past-6500-this-year/chln1ymRRRd">Most Stocktwits Users Expect S&amp;P 500 To Climb Past 6,500 This Year Despite Macro, Fundamental Challenges</a>

EU Costa Tells US ‘Not Right Time’ To Create Trade Tensions, Urges Focus On Shared Defense Responsibility

The official said the main issue between Europe and the United States is about European defence, and the two nations should focus on that.

The European Union (EU) received a reprieve on the tariff front as President Donald Trump&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114570775887793036">confirmed</a> on Sunday that he has extended the pause on the 50% reciprocal tariffs applicable to the region to July 9 from the current timeline of June 1.Trump clarified that the extension came in response to a request from European Commission (EC) President Ursula von der Leyen. “It was my privilege to do so,” he added.This&nbsp;starkly contrasted with the belligerent&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114556968834547173">tone</a> the president sounded out last week. He recommended a 50% tariff on the EU, alleging the trade negotiations&nbsp;had stalled.Responding to Trump’s latest offer, Von der Leyen said in a post on X that “Good call with @POTUS….Europe is ready to advance talks swiftly and decisively.”&nbsp;The EC president said the region would need time until July 9 to thrash out a deal.The development set off a risk-on mood in the markets. The Euro STOXX 50 Index, which comprises the biggest 50 stocks from the euro area, rallied 1.30% on Monday.Economists and analysts held a more muted view about the pause. Berenberg Chief Economist Holger Schmieding reportedly&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/26/trump-delays-eu-tariffs-but-more-volatility-could-be-on-the-way.html">told</a> CNBC. The six-week window probably won’t be enough time to settle all detailed questions, but it should be sufficient to “put the framework of a trade agreement in place,” just like the deal between the U.S. and the UK.″[It] is basically a matter of political will, and that depends a bit on the U.S. side,” he said.“If they do have the political will, we should really be able to have such an agreement with, probably in the end, a 10% tariff from the U.S. on all EU imports, hardly any EU retaliation, and [scaling back] a few sector-specific things … with some of the details to be finalized after July 9.”He warned that if the U.S. were to push for a 20%-30% blanket tariff on EU goods, the latter would&nbsp;have no choice but to retaliate with countermeasures.In an interview with CNBC, Guntram Wolf, a senior fellow at Bruegel, expressed skepticism about the extension. He said “massive uncertainty” remained, adding that this uncertainty is bad for businesses and consumers.“Frankly, it’s an unnecessary step in the negotiations,” he added.Wolf also sees the EU retaliating if the U.S. finalizes massive tariffs, given the importance of its pharmaceutical exports and the services industry.Naeem Aslam, Chief Investment Officer at London-based Zaye Capital Markets, said, “Looking ahead, the EU-US trade dance is a high-stakes tango, with July 9 as the next flashpoint.”“The EU’s dangling phased tariff cuts and 'mutual respect' talks, but Trump’s America-first bravado could turn negotiations into a slugfest, rattling supply chains and fanning inflationary flames.”He singled out tech and the industrial sectors as the ones that face the maximum risk.The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/QQQ">Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) ETF</a> and the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY)</a> are down 0.3% and 0.9%, respectively, for the year, while the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/IEV">iShares Europe ETF</a> (IEV) is up about 21%.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp; <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/apple-analyst-flags-india-trade-deal-as-key-catalyst/ch0NuT5RbA9">Apple Analyst Flags India Trade Deal As Key Catalyst After Stock's 8-Day Losing Streak Amid ‘Tariffs Rubik’s Cube’</a>
