US-EU Trade Agreement - Trump's Victory, EU's Second Choice

Donald Trump and Ursula von der Leyen have announced reaching a US-EU trade agreement. While this marks a easing of transatlantic tensions, the compromise terms are clearly more advantageous to Washington. For the European Union, the primary goal is to maintain economic stability and protect strategic industrial interests. "I believe this is the greatest agreement in history," Trump said of the agreement during his meeting yesterday with von der Leyen, President of the European Commission. This continues his usual exaggerated style. The two leaders announced the news after ending their meeting at Trump's Turnberry golf course in Scotland. For the US President, this is undoubtedly a successful weekend, especially since the agreement clearly benefits the United States.
