The European Union is delaying the retaliatory tariffs it announced after the United States imposed a 25% tariff on steel and aluminum imports earlier this month.

The European Union has delayed its first counter-measures against the United States over President Donald Trump's metals tariffs until mid-April, allowing it to re-think which U.S. goods to hit and offering extra weeks for negotiations.

The European Union will wait until mid-April to impose retaliatory tariffs against some U.S. imports—including a 50% tax on American whiskey—to allow time for negotiations with the U.S. and a review of the products that will be subject to the new tax, the EU’s governing body, The European Commission, announced Thursday.
