EU and US agree trade deal, with 15% tariffs for European exports to America

The European Union (EU) and the United States (US) have reached a trade agreement, which will see a 15% tariff imposed on European exports to America. The deal was struck during a meeting between US President Donald Trump and EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Scotland, following what have been described as "tough negotiations." The agreement aims to ease trade tensions between the two economic powerhouses, which have been embroiled in a series of tit-for-tat tariffs in recent years. While the details of the deal are still emerging, the 15% tariff on European exports to the US is seen as a compromise, with both sides making concessions to reach a mutually beneficial outcome. The deal is expected to provide some relief to businesses and consumers on both sides of the Atlantic, who have been impacted by the ongoing trade dispute. However, it remains to be seen how the agreement will be implemented and whether it will lead to a more stable and predictable trade relationship between the EU and the US.
