Trump sows confusion on tariffs for Canada and Mexico, floats 25% duty on EU goods

WASHINGTON, Feb 26 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday raised hopes for another month-long pause on steep new tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada, saying they could take effect on April 2, and floated a 25% "reciprocal" tariff on European cars and other goods.

Trump, asked whether he has decided on a tariff rate for goods from the European Union, replied: "We have made a decision, and we'll be announcing it very soon, and it'll be 25%, generally speaking, and that'll be on cars, and all of the things."
