The European Parliament is pausing its vote on the planned abolition of tariffs on industrial goods from the USA following President Donald Trump's latest tariff announcement. Trump declared he would replace tariffs overturned by the US Supreme Court with a new 15 percent special tariff, creating uncertainty about whether this new charge would be in addition to existing tariffs, potentially exceeding the agreed-upon rate. This move has led to calls from EU parliamentarians, including Bernd Lange, Chairman of the Trade Committee, to halt the implementation process until the European Commission clarifies the conditions under the new tariff structure. The decision to pause the vote reflects concerns that Trump's actions may violate a trade agreement reached last summer, where the US committed to a 15 percent tariff rate and the EU pledged to eliminate tariffs on US industrial products.
