Key takeaways from the EU-US trade deal
The EU and US narrowly avoided a trade war after reaching a last-minute deal on tariffs. EU leader Ursula von der Leyen and President Trump agreed to terms just before Trump’s August 1 deadline, which would have seen steep new tariffs slapped on European goods. The agreement pulls both sides back from escalating tensions, though details on long-term trade relations remain hazy.
