Trump says US and EU have agreed to postpone tariffs

It comes after the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said in a post on social media site X that she had spoken to Mr Trump and expressed that they needed until 9 July to "reach a good deal". The European Union has been engaging "sensibly" with the US administration, the Irish premier has said following the decision to pause the tariffs. Mr Martin added that "all of the indications" are that the US wants a deal with the EU, and he said that Europe has responded "in a fairly modest and sensible way".
