Trump auto tariffs on hold for 'new proposal' from EU

White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said that a decision concerning tariffs on autos and auto parts imports from the European Union would be delayed to consider some “new proposals” from the administration’s EU counterparts.

“I think that whole discussion is on hold for the moment while we work through a good-faith effort with respect to the possibility of an EU trade deal,” Kudlow said in an appearance on Bloomberg TV. Kudlow did not elaborate on the proposals or give a time frame for when the administration would make a decision.
