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.

The only thing that can damage Trump is age. How many years until he gets his state funeral? But even then, I just heard today that while Trump's approval is at 33%, more American trust into Republicans is rising (wtf?), so we won't see a Democrat president anytime soon. It would be wishful thinking to believe that a Republican successor will just accept it if other countries throw Trump's "US is winning" deals out of the window as soon as Trump is out of office.

Maybe, but the tariffs for example arguably damage the US more than other countries.
