TURNBERRY, Scotland (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday said the United States and the European Union had reached agreement on a trade deal that includes a 15% tariff on EU goods entering the U.S. and significant EU purchases of U.S. energy and military equipment.
The United States and the European Union agreed to a 15 percent base tariff after weeks of negotiations, which were among the Trump administration’s most difficult discussions.
US stocks were mixed Monday and the S&P 500 eked out a record high for the sixth day in a row as investors digested the announcement of a trade deal between Washington and Brussels.
The U.S. and European Union agreed on trade terms that include a 15% rate on most EU products as well as hundreds of billions of dollars of investments in American industry. President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen met in Scotland on Sunday to iron out the agreement.
The European Union and the U.S. are moving toward a trade deal that could include a 15% U.S. baseline tariff on EU goods and possible exemptions, two European diplomats said on Wednesday, potentially moving President Donald Trump closer to another major trade agreement on the heels of the one he just unveiled with Japan.
