President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen have announced a major trade deal imposing a 15% tariff on most European Union goods exported to the United States. The agreement, reached just before a threatened 30% tariff deadline, averts an immediate transatlantic trade war but is widely seen as lopsided in favor of the US.

European leaders have expressed mixed reactions, with some calling the deal a 'submission' and warning of higher prices and slower growth. Investors welcomed the certainty, but the deal has sparked debate over Europe's economic sovereignty and future trade strategy.
