Stocks were mixed in early trading on Monday after President Donald Trump over the weekend issued 30% tariffs on the European Union and Mexico, rekindling tensions with two of the largest U.S. trade partners and threatening to raise consumer prices.

President Donald Trump has announced he’s levying tariffs of 30% against the European Union and Mexico starting Aug. 1.

EU trade chief Maros Sefcovic will head to Washington on Wednesday for tariff talks, an EU spokesperson told Reuters, adding that he will meet U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer.

President Trump announced his team struck a trade deal with Indonesia on Tuesday that will see goods from the country face a 19% tariff. The announcement comes after Trump unveiled a new batch of letters to over 20 trade partners outlining tariffs on goods imported from their countries beginning in August.
