Trump’s Trade Deal: Half-Off Tariffs, Full-On Drama
In a plot twist almost as subtle as a freight train, the US and EU struck a trade deal slapping a 15% tariff instead of the feared 30%, proving "only the broad strokes of the deal have been announced so far."

Meanwhile, the threat of 'drastic tariffs' looms like a suspense thriller sequel with tariffs still tangled in legal limbo, as an appeals court gears up to audition for the Supreme Court slot.
