White House President Donald Trump is confident that the United States will be able to conclude a trade agreement with members of the European Union (EU) before the end of the 90-day period during which he ordered a number of countries to postpone tariff increases.

Axar.az informs that he said this while answering journalists' questions at the beginning of a meeting with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni at the White House.

"Of course, there will be a trade agreement. The EU countries want it very much. We will conclude a trade agreement. I expect it. It will be a fair agreement," Trump said.

Trump assured that the United States is "in no hurry" to conclude trade agreements with other countries.

Recall that on April 2, Trump announced that import duties would be imposed on products from 185 countries and territories. Universal tariffs of 10% came into effect on April 5, and individual tariffs on April 9. Russia is not on the list. On April 9, Trump announced that he was suspending tariff increases for 90 days for 75 countries that had demonstrated their willingness to negotiate. They will be subject to 10% import duties.
