The European Union's trade agreement with the Trump administration is receiving mixed reviews. EU officials claim they avoided a major economic disaster, but French officials argue the EU didn't leverage its full strength.

The EU ’s other big concession was cutting its own tariffs on American cars and other industrial goods to zero, as well as giving some farm and fishery products better access to the European market. The liberalisation affects about a quarter of America’s exports to the EU, including cars and footwear; the rest already enter tariff-free.
