US-EU trade deal will raise costs for companies and consumers
SUMMARY: President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced a trade deal imposing 15% tariffs on most European goods entering the U.S., down from Trump’s threatened 30%. The agreement excludes tariffs on strategic goods like aircraft and certain chemicals, with ongoing negotiations for further product coverage. The EU will buy $750 billion in U.S. energy and invest $600 billion more in America. Some tariffs, including a 50% steel tariff, remain. The deal aims to reduce trade tensions but imposes higher tariffs than pre-Trump levels, potentially raising U.S. consumer prices and impacting European exporters. Reactions are cautiously optimistic.
