Cła Trumpa: von der Leyen ogłasza sukces, a Merz znaczące straty dla ekonomii Niemiec

Trump vs. Europe: Guess Who Blinked

Trump and von der Leyen announce a major political deal to avoid a US-EU trade war.

It’s not a full FTA, but sets the tone for future tariffs, energy, and defense trade.

US imposes 15% tariffs on most EU goods (e.g., cars, semiconductors), but keeps exemptions for aircraft, drugs, and key raw materials.

EU commits to $600 billion in US investments and $750 billion in energy purchases over 3 years.

EU lowers barriers for US agriculture, autos, and arms. Some US exports to get zero tariffs.

Trump: Calls it the “biggest deal ever.”
EU: Mixed—Germany and Italy relieved; France calls it “unbalanced.”

Avoids tariff war, boosts US energy/defense sectors.

EU exporters face higher costs and tough competition.

Deal may test EU unity; some call for bilateral deals.

German carmakers are expected to lose €10 billion due to Trump’s new tariffs.

Mercedes-Benz’s cash flow may drop from €9.4B to €3B, VW from €7.1B to €3.5B, BMW from €4.8B to €4.4B.

Tariffs will raise export and supply chain costs.

Audi cut its profit forecast; Porsche’s Q2 profit fell 91%.

German industry leaders warn the EU is facing a heavy blow and losing global competitiveness.
