The deal came after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to impose<\/a> 30 percent tariffs on European exports if no agreement was reached. While the final compromise capped tariffs at 15 percent<\/a> \u2014 far below Trump\u2019s threat but still much higher than the previous average of 1.47 percent \u2014 the outcome left many Europeans disillusioned.<\/p>\n

According to the survey, 52 percent of respondents said they felt \u201chumiliated\u201d by the deal, with the sentiment particularly strong in France (65 percent) and Spain (56 percent).<\/p>\n

Three-quarters believe von der Leyen failed to defend European interests, while only 19 percent gave her a positive rating. A further 77 percent said the trade agreement primarily benefits the U.S. economy, and 42 percent think European companies will be hit hardest.<\/p>\n

The Eurobazooka survey<\/a> was conducted by Cluster17 between late August and early September across five major EU countries \u2014 France, Spain, Italy, Germany and Poland \u2014 representing more than 60 percent of the EU\u2019s population. The poll surveyed around 1,000 people in each country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The deal came after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to impose 30 percent tariffs on European exports if…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":410906,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5174],"tags":[2437,32,2000,8954,299,5187,1214,36,1824,2199,770,47,104,479,6862,1219,5465,49,1220],"class_list":{"0":"post-410905","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-eu","8":"tag-companies","9":"tag-donald-trump","10":"tag-eu","11":"tag-eu-us-trade-talks","12":"tag-europe","13":"tag-european","14":"tag-exports","15":"tag-france","16":"tag-germany","17":"tag-italy","18":"tag-poland","19":"tag-poll","20":"tag-spain","21":"tag-tariffs","22":"tag-trade-agreements","23":"tag-trade-war","24":"tag-u-s-economy","25":"tag-united-states","26":"tag-ursula-von-der-leyen"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115175353513965354","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/410905","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=410905"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/410905\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/410906"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=410905"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=410905"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=410905"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
