EU Defends Trump Trade Deal Facing Backlash
- On Sunday in Scotland, the U.S. and European Union reached a trade deal that includes a 15% tariff on the majority of EU exports to America, following discussions between American and EU leadership.
- The deal followed rising trade tensions and tariffs imposed since April, including a threatened 30% tariff that pressured negotiations before a looming deadline.
- While the agreement reduced uncertainty and included a $600 billion investment pledge and increased EU purchases of U.S. energy and military equipment, unresolved questions and tariff increases remain.
- Von der Leyen called it "the best we could get," noting the 15% tariff rate is significant but better than feared, and some European leaders remain cautious about the impact.
- The deal averted a deeper trade war but will continue to affect automotive supply chains, with industry representatives warning it will cost billions and require further talks.
