#TrumpTariffs US President Donald Trump has said he is "recommending" a 50% tariff on all goods from the European Union being imported to the United States.

The announcement marks an escalation of Trump's trade war with the EU. He initially proposed a 20% tariff on most EU goods, but halved it to 10% until 8 July to allow time for talks.

The president also threatened to impose a 25% import tax "at least" on iPhones not manufactured in America.
