European wine and spirits will face a 15% U.S. import tariff until a different deal is agreed in talks expected to continue in the autumn, the European Commission and EU diplomats said on Thursday, dashing producers' hopes of an immediate reprieve.

The EU Commission expects the US to keep its word and implement new tariff rates agreed on Sunday. Without a joint statement, it hopes that forthcoming US executive orders will provide relief to sectors heavily impacted since the start of the trade dispute.
