15% tariffs, major agreement between Trump and von der Leyen: “Historic agreement”
Energy, defence, investments: Europe buys gas and technology from the United States for over 750 billion. “Epochal turning point in transatlantic relations”
The United States and the European Union have reached a historic trade agreement. The announcement was made by Donald Trump and Ursula von der Leyen at the end of the bilateral summit held today, Sunday 27 July, at the Turnberry estate in Scotland, owned by the former American president.
The agreement provides for the introduction of uniform 15% tariffs on cars and other European goods, but above all an unprecedented economic cooperation plan. ‘It is the largest agreement ever signed between two economic powers,’ Trump said. ‘The EU will purchase $750 billion worth of US energy, invest another $600 billion in the US and open its markets to our technologies and military equipment, the best in the world.’
The President of the European Commission confirmed: ‘We have reached a huge agreement. After months of difficult negotiations, we have managed to reach an agreement that guarantees stability, mutual access to markets and a rebalancing of the trade deficit. It is a fundamental step for our economies.’
According to leaks from Brussels, the agreement also provides for greater openness in the telecommunications, defence and logistics sectors, with the aim of strengthening industrial cooperation and the strategic autonomy of the Euro-Atlantic bloc.
The new tariff scheme will come into force in the first quarter of 2026, subject to ratification by the European Parliament and the US Congress.
