After months of back-and-forth, the U.S. and EU have finally shaken hands on a sweeping trade deal.
But here’s the real question: is it a win-win—or just another Trump power play?
Fresh off the golf course at Turnberry, President Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen emerged with a deal.
A 15% U.S. tariff on EU goods—half of the 30% Trump had originally threatened.
“It’s a good deal for everybody,” Trump declared.
Von der Leyen called it “a huge deal” and praised Trump as a “tough negotiator, but a dealmaker.”
What’s In The Deal?
The EU gets to dodge some of the harshest tariffs, especially on aircraft, chemicals, and farm goods.
In return, it promises a jaw-dropping $600 billion investment in the U.S., including military equipment and $750 billion in American energy.
All part of a plan to ease Europe’s reliance on Russian power sources.
Still, some EU leaders aren’t thrilled.
France’s Benjamin Haddad called the agreement “unbalanced,” and Irish PM Micheál Martin warned it could make trade “more expensive.”
Even with the champagne on ice, it’s clear: Trump may not have scored “90 deals in 90 days,” but this one’s going in his win column.
