The European Union's trade agreement with the Trump administration is receiving mixed reviews. EU officials claim they avoided a major economic disaster, but French officials argue the EU didn't leverage its full strength. The deal imposes a 15% tariff on most goods imported into the U.S., with no agreement on key areas like pharmaceuticals and steel. French officials criticize the deal as unbalanced, while Germany and Italy see it as avoiding unnecessary escalation. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán calls it a failure for Europe. Economists warn the deal could hinder growth and lacks clarity.
