  1. It looks like OP posted an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of [concerns over privacy and the Open Web](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmputatorBot/comments/ehrq3z/why_did_i_build_amputatorbot).

    Maybe check out **the canonical page** instead: **[https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2025/7/27/us-and-eu-agree-on-trade-tariffs-to-avert-economic-standoff](https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2025/7/27/us-and-eu-agree-on-trade-tariffs-to-avert-economic-standoff)**

  2. Everything about this story is stupid.

    I’m sooo glad everyone is patting each other on the back coming up with a compromise for a trade war that shouldn’t have happened in the first place.

    And us dodo-brained civilians are supposed to accept the legitimacy of all this, too.

  3. The number of people (who tend to be of the American persuasion) who believe the EU is paying *them* 15% is infuriatingly high. The inevitable next step is to blame the Eurocommies for the price of BMWs and Absolut rising.

    Still, the EU is weaker than ever before. It’s incredibly difficult for a Brit to say this, but we really should’ve listened to De Gaulle…

  4. „Trump said the EU also committed to buying about $750bn worth of US energy, in addition to boosting overall investment in the US by $600bn and placing a large order for military equipment.“

    Do we have details on this? Is this true? That sounds much worse than 15% Tarifs to me. EU needs to become more independent

  5. EU continuing their illustrious tradition of being utterly incompetent losers who cower before the USA at all times.

    So far, every single American ally has caved (to some extent) to Trump’s outrageously stupid demands. So much for “TACO”.
