European lawmakers on Wednesday said they reached a provisional deal to remove some import tariffs on U.S. goods, as part of the trade deal signed last summer, ahead of a deadline set by President Trump that would ramp up tariffs on cars.
Lawmakers in Brussels had paused ratification of the deal after the Supreme Court ruled that some of Trump's so-called reciprocal global tariffs implemented last year were illegal. In response, Trump imposed a new, temporary 10% global levy in February. A federal trade court ruled earlier this month that Trump didn't have the authority to impose that duty.
Lawmakers also delayed the process when Trump threatened to raise tariffs on nations that opposed his desire to annex Greenland, part of Denmark.
Trump later said he would impose new 25% tariffs on EU car imports if Europeans did not implement the agreement by July 4.
