The AFD called the EU-US deal a slap in the face to European consumers and companies

The trade deal between the European Union (EU) and the United States is a slap in the face to European consumers and companies. This was announced on July 28 by Alice Weidel, co-chairman of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.

"15% tariffs, the obligation to purchase weapons and energy from the United States is not an agreement, but a slap in the face to European consumers and manufacturers," she wrote on her page on the social network X (ex. Twitter).
