In the past, Trump has said that he intends to set 25 % customs duties for products imported from the EU to the United States.

US president Donald Trump says he will determine new import duties during the spring.

This time, import duties will be ordered for agricultural products from abroad, Trump said on social media, according to AFP news agency. The duties will be introduced on April 2.

In his message, Trump also urged US farmers to prepare to produce a lot of products for sale in Finland with its customs.

Trump has previously said that he intends to set 25 % customs duties on products imported from the EU to the United States. So far, it is not known when the duties would come into force. It is also unclear whether the duties would apply to all goods imported from the EU. The EU has said it will take retaliation if the customs threatened by Trump are realized.
