Trump & EU Hug It Out: Tariffs Now With 15% Crunch
After four months of The Good, The Bad, and The Brexit, Donald Trump and the EU wrapped up their transatlantic soap opera with a 15% baseline tariff deal on exports to the US, ironically at a Scotland talk (because whiskey taxes arenât enough). Ursula von der Leyen called it 'a big deal, a huge deal' promising 'stability' and 'predictability'âthe kind you get from knowing your dinner bill before you even order. This trade agreement stops the war of tariffs just in time to avoid turning markets into reality TV melodrama.

Trump and EU finally agree to play nicely with a 15% tariff hug. Just in time to save us all from watching policy swirl worse than a Game of Thrones plot twist.
Variant 1: Trump vs EU trade talks: four months of arguing over math until they settled on 15% tariffsâbecause nothing says 'trust' like a slow-motion tariff feud measured in calendar years.
Variant 2: This trade deal is like when you agree on pizza toppings after arguing for hoursâeveryoneâs miserable, but at least the bill won't ruin your credit score.
