The United States and European Union have reached a major trade agreement that imposes a 15% baseline tariff on most EU goods entering the US, averting a potentially devastating trade war. While the deal is being touted as a victory for stability and predictability, it has drawn criticism from European leaders, especially France and Germany, who see it as a lopsided concession to US demands. Key sectors like pharmaceuticals and autos are expected to see higher prices, and questions remain about the feasibility of the EU's pledge to buy hundreds of billions in US energy and military goods. The agreement has provided short-term relief to markets and exporters, but many details remain unresolved, and the threat of further escalation lingers. Overall, the deal is seen as a compromise that avoids immediate disaster but leaves both sides wary and some industries facing significant new costs.
