Trump Is Getting the World Economy He Wants — but the Risk to Growth Could Spoil His Victory Lap
- Sunday’s announcement shows the United States and the European Union agreeing to accept 15% U.S. tariffs on most goods, driven by Trump’s threats and bargaining, easing fears of a catastrophic trade war.
- The EU’s 15% tariffs are a slight rise from the 10% rate imposed in April, and Japan agreed to 15% U.S. tariffs four days earlier.
- The White House announced $750 billion in energy purchases and $600 billion in investments through 2028, with stocks rising slightly on Monday.
- New tariff revenues of several billion dollars are flowing into the U.S. Treasury, which could partly offset the tax cuts signed on July 4, and Eswar Prasad called the deals a qualified win for Trump.
- Outside economists caution that higher tariffs could raise consumer prices and dampen the Federal Reserve’s ability, as economic damage will mount in the coming months.
