Trump postponed the threatened 50 % EU tariff until which new deadline?

Question

Accepted Answer

On May 25, Trump spoke by phone with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and agreed to push the 50% tariff deadline from June 1 to July 9, keeping the existing 10% rate while negotiations continued. That reprieve launched a rollercoaster: on July 12, Trump lowered the threat to 30% effective August 1, and on July 27, the two sides struck a deal at Turnberry, Scotland, setting most EU tariffs at 15%. The July 9 delay bought negotiators six critical weeks that ultimately averted a full-scale trade war.
