US President Donald Trump describes the new trade agreement between the United States and the European Union as “the biggest deal of all time.” Instead of the originally threatened 30%, tariffs on EU goods are now being increased to 15%. The USA is emerging stronger from the negotiations — in addition to the new tariffs, the country was able to secure investment commitments of several hundred billion dollars from the EU.
