U.S. President Donald Trump has issued new tariff threats in the past few days that target the European Union and makers of smartphones, though he has relented a bit in his stance toward the E.U.

President Donald Trump said he was encouraged the European Union is speeding up negotiations on trade, days after he said the bloc would face 50% tariffs if they fail to reach a deal with the US.

Trump threatened to impose the costly tariffs on the European Union starting on June 1, complaining last week that the negotiations were “going nowhere.” He ended up delaying the tariffs on Sunday after speaking with the president of the European Commission.
