President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that the United States and the European Union have reached a new trade framework. The announcement came after Trump met European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Turnberry, Scotland. Under the new framework, a 15% tariff will be applied to EU goods entering the US. In return, the EU has agreed to buy large amounts of American energy products and military equipment."It’s a very powerful deal, it’s a very big deal, it’s the biggest of all the deals," Trump said alongside von der Leyen.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz praised the trade agreement, saying that it helped prevent a trade war that could have seriously harmed Germany’s export-oriented economy and its automotive industry. Major German carmakers such as Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW were amongst those most affected by the US tariff currently imposed on vehicle and auto part imports.
