Trump announced an agreement between the US and the EU on a trade deal

The United States and the European Union have agreed on a trade deal, US President Donald Trump said after meeting with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Scotland. This was reported by Bloomberg on July 27.

According to the newspaper, the agreement will allow the EU to avoid 30% of duties that could be imposed by Washington. However, Trump said he did not intend to reduce the level of duties for Brussels from 15%.

It is noted that the European Union has agreed to purchase $750 billion worth of American energy resources and invest another $600 billion in the United States economy.

"The US and the EU have agreed a deal that leaves the bloc with 15% tariffs on most of its exports, including cars," Bloomberg writes.

According to Trump, the European Union will open markets for American exports with zero tariffs. The American leader added that this agreement "satisfies both sides."
