What the Trade Deal Means
The United States announced a standardised 15% tariff structure across most product categories under its new agreement with the European Union. This marks a notable reduction from the current 27.5% duty on EU car imports.
The deal comes just days before the August 1 tariff deadline set by President Donald Trump and is seen as a major step towards easing transatlantic trade tensions.
