US President Donald Trump has announced a 30% tariff on goods from the European Union and Mexico, effective August 1. The tariffs were announced in letters to EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum. Trump warned that if either party retaliates with higher tariffs, the US will add the same amount to the existing 30% tariff. The EU and Mexico have expressed concerns and threatened countermeasures. The move is part of Trump's broader effort to establish a more 'reciprocal' global trade landscape, with similar letters sent to 23 other US trading partners.
