Dhaka, Apr 10 (UNB)-The European Commission announced Thursday it will delay its planned retaliatory tariffs against the United States for 90 days, mirroring President Donald Trump’s temporary pause on newly imposed tariffs.
The move is intended to allow time for negotiations.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent clarified that the tariff freeze wasn't triggered by recent market turmoil, but rather to accommodate countries seeking dialogue.
Trump later told reporters that public anxiety over the tariffs prompted his decision to ease up.
