$TRUMP STRIKES EU DEAL: TARIFF PAUSE, ENERGY PLEDGES, AND MASSIVE INVESTMENTS

In a surprise move, the European Union has agreed to delay its retaliatory tariffs on the U.S. for six months. This comes after a July 27 agreement between European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and U.S. President Donald Trump aimed at stabilizing transatlantic trade.

🔹 The EU’s planned countermeasures—originally set to begin August 7—are now suspended.

🔹 In exchange, Trump imposed a sweeping 15% tariff on most EU imports, including vehicles.

🔹 The White House claims the EU will remove tariffs on all U.S. industrial exports.

🔹 $TRUMP also announced a $750B EU commitment to buy U.S. energy and $600B in new EU investments in America.

🔹 But critics note: the energy purchases and investments aren’t legally binding, and it’s unclear who is footing the bill.

The EU has confirmed the agreement is political, not contractual, and further negotiations are underway. A formal Joint Statement is expected—but no details have been released yet.

Meanwhile, Trump’s global tariff agenda rolls on, with new U.S. duties on 60+ countries now set to begin August 7.

The next six months could reshape the U.S.–EU trade relationship—or reignite tensions.
