Trump reaches agreement with E.U. to impose 15% tariff, with exceptions for key industries
President Donald Trump on Sunday announced a trade agreement with the European Union that would set tariffs at 15%, ending what had been months of uncertainty surrounding trade with the United States' largest trade partner. The tariff rate is a reduction from the 30% that Trump threatened on July 12 and the 20% he said he would impose on April 2. Announcing the agreement, Trump said the E.U. will not impose a tariff on U.S. imports. He added this agreement was 'satisfactory to both sides.' Potentially more tariffs on the way European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Sunday alongside Trump that the pact 'will bring stability. It will bring predictability. That's very important for our businesses on both sides of the Atlantic.' However, Trump said 50% tariffs on steel would remain unchanged and more tariffs could still be on the way for pharmaceutical products, which Ireland is one of the top sources of. Trump recently threatened 200% tariffs on pharma goods. In the meeting with von der Leyen, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said semiconductor tariffs could also be announced in the coming weeks. Outlining parts of the agreement, Trump said "the European Union is going to agree to purchase from the United States $750 billion worth of energy." He said the E.U. would also invest $600 billion into the United States. It was not immediately clear what form that investment would take or over what time period it would be deployed. Trump added that E.U. nations will also be purchasing "a vast amount of military equipment," though a definitive purchase amount was not yet set. The European Commission has been bulking up its military supplies but has been focused on buying primarily from European companies so far. Trump said this arrangement would lead to the "opening up of all of the European countries, which I think I could say were essentially closed." However, the E.U. buys hundreds of billions of dollars in U.S. goods each year. In 2024, that value was nearly $400 billion. The agreement appears to closely mirror the trade agreement announced with Japan on Tuesday, under which Japanese imports will face a 15% import duty, which was also lower than Trump earlier threatened. In a press briefing after the meeting with Trump, von der Leyen said that the 15% tariff would not stack on top of any other tariffs already in place. She said the U.S. and E.U. have both agreed to apply zero tariffs to a number of categories of imports: all aircraft and component parts, certain chemicals, generic pharmaceuticals, semiconductor equipment and some agricultural products. 'We will replace Russian gas and oil by significant purchases of U.S. [liquified natural gas], oil, and nuclear fuels,' she said. Von der Leyen said she estimates the union will buy $250 billion worth of the energy products per year over the course of a three-year period. 'Fifteen percent is not to be underestimated but it is the best we could get,' she added of the still high rate of duties that exports from the 27 European countries will face. 'Fifteen percent is certainly a challenge for some, but we should not forget it keeps access to the American market.' She described the meeting with Trump as 'very difficult because we started far apart from each other.' In the end, she said it was 'good and satisfactory.' But last year, the average U.S. tariff on imports from the European Union was just 1.2%, according to Capital Economics' chief Europe economist. Ireland's prime minister said in a post on X that he welcomed the deal but "it does mean that there will now be higher tariffs than there have been and this will have an impact on trade between the EU and US, making it more expensive and more challenging." Germany's prime minister responded by saying, "A trade conflict has been averted that would have hit the export-oriented German economy hard. This is especially true for the automotive industry, where the current tariffs will be almost halved from 27.5% to 15%. This is precisely where the rapid reduction of tariffs is of utmost importance." The European Union has been in active negotiations with Lutnick and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer for weeks and had believed it was extremely close to a deal before Trump suddenly fired off a letter on Truth Social saying he would hike tariffs to 30%. The E.U.'s top trade negotiator made multiple trips across the Atlantic to meet with his U.S. counterparts and was set to speak by phone with Lutnick again Wednesday, according to a spokesperson for the E.U. 'Imposing 30% tariffs on E.U. exports would disrupt essential transatlantic supply chains, to the detriment of businesses, consumers and patients on both sides of the Atlantic,' von der Leyen said after Trump's July letter. Immediately after the letter, the E.U. said it would continue working toward an agreement of some type by the new deadline of Aug. 1. But the bloc continued to simultaneously prepare an extensive list of U.S. products against which it could apply retaliatory tariffs if an agreement weren't reached amid fears that Trump could end talks. Some of those products included Boeing aircraft, U.S. vehicles and imports from politically sensitive states such as bourbon from Kentucky and soybeans from Louisiana. At the time of the announcement, the E.U. had about $100 billion worth of retaliatory tariffs ready to deploy. Agricultural and business groups had warned that 30% tariffs on the European Union could dramatically impact the price and availability of wines, cheeses and pasta, and called the proposed levy 'incomprehensible.' Cars and other vehicles produced in the E.U. could still face increased prices. 'The costs for our companies have already reached the billions — and with each passing day, the total continues to grow,' the German auto trade group VDA told NBC News in a statement on July 14. The 27 countries of the European Union are the United States' largest trading partner — its $605 billion worth of imports into the U.S. surpass Mexico, Canada and even China. The most valuable category of imports in 2024 was drugs and pharmaceuticals primarily from Ireland, followed by autos, aircraft and other heavy machinery from nations such as France and Germany. Trump has separately threatened to impose a 200% tariff on any drugs imported into the U.S., though it would not be applied for at least 18 months. It was unclear if the deal with the E.U. would prevent that. This article was originally published on

Trump announces trade deal with EU following months of negotiations
-- The United States and European Union have reached a landmark trade agreement that includes a 15% tariff on EU goods entering the U.S., President Donald Trump announced Sunday while in Scotland. The broad-strokes deal encompasses significant EU purchases of U.S. energy and military gear, along with substantial investments in the American economy. According to Trump, the European Union has committed to purchasing $750 billion worth of energy from the United States. He also stated that the EU has agreed to make $600 billion in investments in the U.S. "They are agreeing to open up their countries to trade at zero tariff," Trump told reporters. He added that the EU would "purchase a vast amount of military equipment" from the U.S. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen confirmed the agreement would include 15% tariffs across the board, noting that this measure would help "rebalance" trade between the two major trading partners. Of the $3.3 trillion in goods imported by the U.S. last year, more than $600 billion came from the 27-member EU. The pact could help bring some calm to markets, who had been wary that both sides would fail to reach an deal before August 1, when Trump's sweeping "reciprocal" tariffs are due to come into effect. The EU had been facing heightened levies of 30%, and had reportedly been pushing for a zero-for-zero agreement with the White House. In a note, Pepperstone Senior Research Strategists Michael Brown said the agreement "not only removes a key left tail risk that the market had been concerned about, but also yet again reiterates that the direction of travel remains away from punchy rhetoric, and towards trade deals done." Brown added that euro is likely to see "notable upside." European automakers are also seen as a big winner of the deal, Brown argued, pointing out that the 15% tariff applies to car imports into the U.S., which is "a similar carve out to that achieved by Japan" earlier this month. "Other obvious winners include U.S. defense names, given the EU's purchase commitments on that front, as well as U.S. energy stocks," Brown said. Meanwhile, von der Leyen clarified that the 15% tariff will apply to pharmaceuticals, but flagged that more could be coming from the United States on the matter. Trump has been threatening to slap steep duties of as much as 200% on drugs incoming from the EU, presenting heavy and possibly damaging headwinds to the region's key pharmaceutical industry. The deal comes ahead of what analysts at ING have described as a "massive" week for the U.S. economy. Along with a possible flurry of trade deals before August 1, the coming days will see a raft of corporate earnings, including results from mega-cap tech titans like Facebook-owner Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN). A reading of inflation closely monitored by the Federal Reserve is also scheduled to be released, while the Fed itself will unveil its latest interest rate decision on Wednesday. Fed officials are widely anticipated to leave borrowing costs unchanged, even as Trump has placed intensifying pressure on the central bank -- and Chair Jerome Powell in particular -- to quickly lower rates. Policymakers have recently signaled a "wait-and-see" approach to further rate decisions, partly citing uncertainty around the trajectory of Trump's tariffs and their impact on the wider economy.
