Trump welcomes progress in ongoing EU trade negotiations (Alliance News) -    US President Donald Trump has expressed confidence in future negotiations    with the EU over trade tariffs. "I have just been informed that the EU has    called to quickly establish meeting dates," he wrote on his online    platform, Truth Social, on Tuesday. "This is a positive event." He would    unilaterally "set a deal" if the negotiators are "unable to make a deal,    or are treated unfairly," Trump wrote. On Friday, Trump threatened the EU    with punitive tariffs of 50% from June 1, only to postpone them soon    afterwards. Both sides now want to find a solution by July 9, when Trump's    tariff suspension expires. European Commission President Ursula von der    Leyen wrote on X at the weekend after a phone call with Trump that "Europe    is ready to advance talks swiftly and decisively."
