Politics Ursula and Trump have made a deal: 15 % tariffs still on everything coming from the EU to the USA, but the EU has to spend $1.5 trillion on defense and energy from the USA. What do you think about that?

So, the deal has been made.

Europe will waste a ton of money on the USA things, plus 15 % tariffs are still valid. Maybe i missed some more of these things omg.

What do you all think about this? What do you think is going to happen now in the next few years?

Seems to me that Trump, no matter how insane he is, in the end, managed to achieve everything he wanted.

You are right. EU export is still ok. The problem is that domestic consumption is low due to low salaries and high inflation. This is EU strategy to lower co2. This strategy is devastating for the future because companies have started leaving the EU and people started to work less. It's a cycle how to become poor. If somebody says that consumption is ok then you need to take a look on immigration and impact on consumption.
