The pro-government states will not delay the European Union on the definition of higher imports of imported from August 1, US Minister of Foreign Affairs Robert Lutnik stated on Sunday.
"No, it is a strict deadline, so the new customs duties will take effect on August 1," he said to the question whether the US government can extend another extension.
The official said that despite the introduction of high customs duties in the near future, "nothing prevents" Brussels and other Washington trade partners continued negotiations with the US administration.
