BRUSSELS—The European Union and the United States have decided to temporarily suspend measures at the heart of a steel tariff dispute that is seen as one of the major trade issues dividing the two sides.

With the decision, “we are walking the talk in our efforts to reboot the trans-Atlantic relationship,” said EU trade chief Valdis Dombrovskis. It will affect anything from steel production to Kentucky Bourbon sales.
