U.S President Trump refused to lower tariffs for the European Union, finalizing a major trade deal that locks in a flat 15% duty on most EU imports.
When asked if he could offer a “better” rate, Trump snapped: “Better?
Meaning lower?
No.” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen was forced to smile through the awkward moment, securing zero tariff relief despite a last-minute scramble to strike a deal at Trump’s Turnberry resort in Scotland.
The EU, in return, agreed to $750 billion in U.S. energy purchases—but walked away with no concessions, no exemptions, and plenty of political pressure at home.
Was this a win for stability or a one-sided surrender?
