President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced a trade agreement between the United States and the European Union on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The declaration occurred only moments after the two spoke to the media, saying that the chances of reaching an agreement were around 50-50. Von der Leyen acknowledged that the discussions required significant effort, yet both leaders expressed satisfaction with the final outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are agreeing that the tariff straight across for automobiles and everything else will be a straight-across tariff of 15%,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo we have a tariff of 15%. We have the opening up of all of the European countries, which I think I could say were essentially closed. I mean, you weren\u2019t exactly taking our orders. You weren\u2019t exactly taking our agriculture,\u201d he added, addressing von der Leyen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Von der Leyen said Europe will also purchase $150 billion worth of U.S. energy as part of the deal, in addition to making $600 billion in other investments into the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the topline details about the trade deal can be seen below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 An agreement to open up trade at 0% tariff<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 EU to buy up to $750 billion of US energy<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 EU to purchase \u201cvast amounts\u201d of US auto<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Tariffs on automobiles reduced to 15%<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deal is so good for the United States that liberals in America and even those in Europe are admitting that Trump got exactly what he wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former Ambassador to the E.U. Gordon Sondland praised the significance of the deal and how it will \u201cscrew\u201d Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, when I served as ambassador, we were trying desperately to get Europe to abandon Nord Stream 2 and buy energy from us. And, you know, back then, they were hooked on cheap Russian gas. They didn\u2018t think that Russia posed a threat to Europe. Look how a few years have changed things. So now they don\u2018t want to buy from Russia. They want to buy from the U.S.,\u201d Sondland said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe E.U. knew they had to do something like this. They realized that now President Trump has the mandate to push it. He did not have the mandate in his first term because he was fighting a lot of impeachments and other things that didn\u2018t give him the, you know, the power to do what he\u2018s done now. So I think all the whining and complaining is for public consumption, but at the end of the day, we\u2018re very close to the E.U.. We do a lot of things together, both public and classified, and, you know, this is \u2014 whatever, you know, sore feelings there are over this negotiation are a small bump in the road and now we can move forward. I think this is a tremendous day for the United States. And I have to credit President Trump,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CNN\u2019s Jeff Zeleny claimed that the European Union\u2019s trade deal with the United States \u201cis a message that it\u2019s better to do so rather than face a trade war.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe do know that China, of course, is one of the countries that there have been an on again\/off again trade war. There\u2018s been a truce since May, but that expires on August 12th. So the question tomorrow, when Treasury secretary Scott Bessent meets with his Chinese counterparts in Stockholm, will there be an extension to that truce or will there be going back to the on again\/off again, tit-for-tat trade war between Washington and Beijing? That is very much an open question.\u201d Zeleny said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut the deal today reached with the EU certainly sends a message out to all other countries who have not yet signed deals that perhaps it\u2018s better to try and do so, rather than to face the threat of what the Trump Administration is proposing,\u201d Zeleny added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MSNBC\u2019s Elise Jordan took a more pathetic route and said she wished that the European Union would have played \u201ccat and mouse a little bit\u201d on the trade deal with Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, because it\u2019s a moment when the EU could have played with him a little bit, you know, cat and mouse a little bit. They have more leverage than, you know, giving in this quickly,\u201d Jordan whined.<\/p>\n\n\n
