On July 13, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated, "We will extend the suspension period for retaliatory measures against U.S. tariffs until early August. We have always made it clear that we prefer to reach a solution with the United States through negotiation, and this position remains unchanged."
"Retaliatory measures are designed for unconventional situations, and we have not yet reached the stage of using them." [Deep Tide TechFlow]
