Well thats nice
fun part is that USA did not win crap on it EU did have tariff below 3% for US gods so when reporters gonna tell him that later he is gonna be so mad ahahahhaha
Great.

The irony is that before the European countries had vassal states(including North America), and now we have become vassals.

When the hot phase of the war(WW3) starts the US will start selling us ammunition.
-You wanna say "transfer"?

The United States and European Union have reached a trade deal, ending a months-long standoff between two of the world's key economic partners.

After make-or-break negotiations between President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen in Scotland, the pair agreed on a blanket US tariff on all EU goods of 15%. That is half the 30% import tax rate Trump had threatened to implement starting on Friday.

Trump said the 27-member bloc would open its markets to US exporters with zero per cent tariffs on certain products.

Von der Leyen also hailed the deal, saying it would bring stability for both allies, who together account for almost a third of global trade.

Trump has threatened tariffs against major US trade partners in a bid to reorder the global economy and trim the American trade deficit.

As well as the EU, he has also struck tariff agreements with the UK, Japan, Indonesia and Vietnam, although he has not achieved his goal of "90 deals in 90 days".

Sunday's deal was announced after private talks between Trump and Von der Leyen at his Turnberry golf course in South Ayrshire.

Trump - who is on a five-day visit to Scotland - said following a brief meeting with the European Commission president: "We have reached a deal. It's a good deal for everybody."

"It's going to bring us closer together," he added.

Von der Leyen also hailed it as a "huge deal", after "tough negotiations".

Under the agreement, Trump said the EU would boost its investment in the US by $600bn (£446bn), purchase hundreds of billions of dollars of American military equipment and spend $750bn on energy.

That investment in American liquified natural gas, oil and nuclear fuels would, Von der Leyen said, help reduce European reliance on Russian power sources.

"I want to thank President Trump personally for his personal commitment and his leadership to achieve this breakthrough," she said.

"He is a tough negotiator, but he is also a dealmaker."

The US president also said a 50% tariff he has implemented on steel and aluminium globally would stay in place.

Both sides can paint this agreement as something of a victory.

For the EU, the tariffs could have been worse: it is not as good as the UK's 10% tariff rate, but is the same as the 15% rate that Japan negotiated.

For the US it equates to the expectation of roughly $90bn of tariff revenue into government coffers – based on last year's trade figures, plus there's hundreds of billions of dollars of investment now due to come into the US.
