The United States and the European Union have reached a major trade agreement, setting a 15% tariff on most European goods exported to the US. This deal, announced just before a looming deadline, averts the threat of a much higher 30% tariff and a potential transatlantic trade war. While some European leaders, especially in France, have criticized the agreement as a capitulation to US demands, others see it as a necessary compromise to ensure economic stability. The EU also agreed to purchase significant amounts of US energy and military equipment as part of the deal. Markets responded positively, with stock futures rising on news of the agreement.
