Von der Leyen Slammed for One-Sided Deal As Europe Forced to Buy $750 Billion in US Energy

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán described the recently announced EU–US trade deal by declaring, “Trump ate Ursula for breakfast,” a pointed jab at European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. The agreement, while touted as a breakthrough, has raised alarms across European capitals due to its heavy concessions to Washington and its unclear benefits for Europe. “Trump ate Ursula for breakfast,” — Viktor Orbán, Hungarian Prime Minister. The deal sets 15% tariffs on EU goods entering the United States, while allowing zero tariffs for American products flowing into the EU. In addition, Brussels pledged to invest $600 billion in the US and committed to purchasing American energy resources worth $750 billion over the next three years. According to insiders, this figure includes contracts for military equipment from US defense contractors.
