Major US trading partners scrambled over the weekend to finalize trade deals or lobby for extra time as President Donald Trump said he’s notifying about a dozen countries on Monday of the new tariff level on their shipments to the US.

The pause on the administration's import levies will expire July 9. European Union negotiators have given up on reaching a trade new agreement by then.

The president says tariff notices are imminent, with levies up to 70% set to start in August.
