Trump and Europe Near Trade Deal Amid Tensions and Retaliation Risks
TL;DR Summary
President Trump expressed a 50-50 chance of reaching a trade deal with the EU, contingent on the bloc lowering tariffs, which currently stand at 30%. The deal's success depends on EU willingness to reduce barriers to American exports, with potential retaliation if no agreement is reached. Trump is optimistic compared to previous negotiations with Japan and is also engaging in discussions with UK officials to fine-tune trade agreements, while spending time in Scotland.
