🚨 The U.S. and EU have released two very different narratives on their new trade deal - compare von der Leyen’s statement and the White House Fact Sheet (thank you for the hint @JorgeLiboreiro)
Key takeaways:
🔹 A XX% tariff ceiling on most EU exports (autos, semiconductors, pharma) 🔹 Steel & aluminum: EU claims tariff cuts + quotas; U.S. insists XX% tariffs remain 🔹 EU to purchase $750B in U.S. energy and invest $600B in the U.S. by 2028 (VdL doesn‘t mention these numbers in her speech) 🔹 Zero tariffs on selected strategic goods (aviation, chemicals, semiconductors), the U.S. doesn’t confirm reciprocity. 🔹 U.S. says EU will buy large amounts of American military equipment (EU remains silent in the VdL speech) 🔹 Joint pledges on red tape, digital trade, and critical supply chains
But here’s the twist:
While Brussels speaks of “stability” and presents it as a “strategic diversification”, Washington calls it a hard-won “Trump deal,” portrays it as economic dominance and extraction of commitments. In reality, the EU was chasing two rabbits - and caught none (Confucius) in simultaneously tackling both China and America.
What happened between the EU and US, is not just about tariffs or trade. It’s about geopolitical realignment in a global system bifurcating between America and the DragonBear. It’s about picking sides, earning your entry ticket into U.S.-wired supply chains, tech ecosystems, and defense-industrial domains - all amid Cold War XXX and the Fourth Industrial Revolution with “winners take all” mindset.
