🤝 US–EU trade deal exposes Europe's dependency
The new trade agreement hits EU exporters with up to 15% tariffs, while U.S. imports face almost none.
Even von der Leyen admitted:
This is the best we could get.
Europe had no real choice — risking a trade war, LNG supply cuts, and even weakening U.S. security guarantees was too much post-Ukraine.
In return for peace, Europe accepted:
🟡 $750B in U.S. energy purchases
🟡 $600B in investment targets over 3 years
🟡 NATO defense spending pushed to 5% of GDP
Washington got what it wanted.
Brussels got a reality check.
