The historic EU–U.S. trade deal unifies tariffs at 15% for most sectors & slashes them to zero for strategic products like semiconductors & aircraft parts.

With $750 billion in American energy exports & $600 billion EU investment promised by 2028, the deal could transform transatlantic trade, but only if pledges become policy.
