#US-EUTradeAgreement

🚨 **#US‑EUTradeAgreement – Deal Struck!**

✅ 15% U.S. tariffs confirmed on most EU imports—down from a threatened 30% but up from pre‑Trump levels (~1.2%)

💼 In return: EU commits to $750B in U.S. energy purchases and $600B in investments by 2028

🔒 Steel & aluminum remain at 50% tariffs; auto, semiconductor, and some pharma enjoy zero tariffs under “zero-for-zero” agreements

⚠️ European reaction is mixed:

Germany & Italy accept it as damage control

France calls it a “dark day” for Europe, warning of economic imbalance and urging retaliatory action via the EU’s anti-coercion instrument

---

🔍 TL;DR

U.S. wins leverage with higher tariffs and concessions

EU avoids full-blown trade war but at a steep cost

Economy and politics now hinge on follow-through from investment and energy commitments—and Europe’s unity
