US Edition'American Tariffs Ultimately Get Paid by Americans': US, EU Agree to Trade Deal
- On Sunday, a trade agreement was finalized at Turnberry, Scotland, where US President Donald Trump and the head of the European Commission agreed to set tariffs of 15% on most European Union goods entering the United States.
- This agreement followed months of negotiations to avoid imminent punishing tariffs and a potential trade war between the EU's 27 member countries and the US.
- The deal includes zero tariffs on strategic products like aircraft, chemicals, generics, semiconductor equipment, and certain agricultural goods, while the EU commits to $750 billion in US energy purchases and a $600 billion investment increase.
- Trump described the negotiations as "very interesting" and characterized the agreement as beneficial for all involved, with tariffs capped at 15% across various sectors; however, economists warn that these tariffs may lead to higher prices on vehicles, pharmaceuticals, and food products.
- The agreement prevents a full-scale trade conflict and seeks to enhance economic stability, though experts like Ernie Tedeschi highlight that the financial burden of tariffs imposed by the U.S. tends to fall on American consumers, potentially leading to higher prices.
