President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen said she had a "good call" with US President Donald Trump on Sunday - two days after he expressed frustration with the pace of negotiations with the EU and threatened to impose 50% tariffs.
Trump last month announced a 20% tariff on most EU goods, but later halved it to 10% until 8 July to allow time for negotiations.
Von der Leyen said Europe was "ready to advance talks swiftly and decisively" and "to reach a good deal, we would need the time until 9 July".
