EU-US Trade Deal: Unfinished, Unclear, and Unpopular | JQJO

A recently announced EU-US trade deal, avoiding threatened 30% tariffs, faces criticism due to unresolved details and discrepancies between both sides. While a 15% tariff on most EU exports is in place temporarily, key disagreements remain on sectors like pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, and steel, with differing interpretations of investment commitments. The EU emphasizes the deal is not legally binding, while the US presents it as achieving "historic structural reforms." Negotiations will continue, with concerns that some EU countries will disproportionately suffer from the tariffs.
