The problem is Trump is showing the world that he can’t be trusted. He promised a 90 day pause on EU tariffs on April 10th, now he says 50% tariffs on June 1st. Last I checked 90 days would be mid-July. It looks like the EU is not negotiating and signals that they will not. They are just hurling slurs at Trump. So the EU seems to have rejected the offer. The EU does not have to accept the offer. But Trump does not have to keep honoring the offered pause when it has been rejected.
