The US and EU reached a trade framework agreement, setting a 15% tariff on some European imports. The EU will eliminate tariffs on all US industrial exports and offer better terms for certain agricultural products. The agreement, stemming from a July meeting between President Trump and Ursula von der Leyen, covers $750 billion in energy purchases and $600 billion in EU investments by 2028. It also includes provisions for increased US agricultural exports and EU purchases of US AI chips and military equipment. This framework aims to improve trade relations between the two economic powerhouses, representing 44% of the global economy.
