EU Trade Deal

The deal sets the tariff rate to 15% and requires the EU to accept US automobile standards.

You mean lower their standards. No they won't, but they'll allow the 12 US built cars you sell in the EU to not meet theirs.

I don't see how this deal will mean anything to the average American.

How did I get dragged into this?   

[herbie]

 See the gleeful American who will not pay a tax on things because they call it something else.
And good patriotic companies rather than pass it on, will spend billions to build new US headquarters, entire new supply chains and factories staffed with employees that f*cking dumb..

Well Mike...that's because you're not very bright.

This deal helps American car makers. You know...those blue collar working folks you and your limp Libbie cohorts look down your noses at.

You think that this will have an impact? What were the tariffs on us cars before this?

The regulations being relaxed is what helps.

For multi step manufacturing a few percentage point is a big deal since it gets taxed every time it crosses the border.

Should Canadians be jealous that they don't have a deal that involves a 15% flat tariffs? 

BTW these deals don't negate the 50% tariff on steel and aluminum. Which is the tariffs that's most damning to Canada. There's no reason to believe any of these MOU's Trump is tweeting would involve lowering steel tariffs.

Most certainly, tariff is what drove the EU to invest another 600 billion. Out of the kindness of their heart or to avoid tariff barriers?

We don’t care what Canada thinks. You’ve been offered 51st, the best possible deal not even offered to others. You’re all just too prideful to realized that. So you Canada can sit this one out until you turn into Haiti.

1. Not an answer.
2. Insult.

Anyway, the tariff WAS 10% from what I have seen.  So a 7.5% price cut is going to be a boon to the American worker ?  

I don't think it's going to mean much, myself.

First you said it won't mean anything...now it won't mean much.

As I commonly say...limp Libbie.

The UK situation is different though.  It will be a 7.5% cut in price for UK consumers.

What uninformed propaganda do you consumer to think this is a reality? 

Americans still will buy plenty from Canada. Without a deal, it will cost them more. 

The 51st State was a stupid rhetorical tool aimed at diminishing Canada. No thought has been put into how it would actually work in practice.

Actually this is a fairly straightforward process needing only a simple majority in congress.

And buy-in from Canada you'd assume. 

So Canada gets two-Senators and their share of congress? 
Or do you respect Canadians regions and give state-hood to our provinces. It's insane to consider Newfoundland in the same state as Ontario, Quebec or BC.

I love Trump's non-deals that are 'deals'....    Inflation is 'coming to your town' soon.  Maga just can't stop winning...

 

U.S. stocks pare gains as investors await key earnings and economic data after US-EU trade deal

Jul. 28, 2025 11:01 AM ETS&P 500 Index (SPX), US100:IND, INDUAAPL, AMZN, MSFT, META, SP500, COMP:IND, DJI, US10Y, US2YBy: Kim Khan, SA News Editor

Wall Street's major indices were little changed on Monday after the U.S. and the European Union struck a trade deal, sending stocks higher but later paring gains.

The benchmark S&P 500 (SP500) was +0.1% during morning trade, while theNasdaq Composite (COMP:IND) was +0.3%, and the Dow Jones (DJI) was flat, after opening in the red.

Also, eight out of the 11 S&P sectors were down on Monday. Energy and consumer discretionary led the group in gains, while materials and utilities lagged.

The US-EU trade deal, reached on Sunday, lifted U.S. stocks, but gains have been fading through the early morning trade.

"The EU and the US agreed that US consumers should pay more tax - levied at 15% for imports from the EU," UBS Chief Economist Paul Donovan said. "EU President von der Leyen made vague pledges to buy stuff from and invest in the US, without the necessary authority to make those pledges reality."

"Pharmaceuticals and steel seem to be excluded from this deal," he added. "The result is better for the US economy than the worst-case scenario, but worse for the US economy than the situation in January this year - but it is bad news markets have probably anticipated."

Well says there on the tweet those are the terms. I don't think there's much of a choice, you can either balk at being the same and equal to the quebecois or become Haiti. Your patchwork of hatred is not sustainable , you're all aging into obsolescence.

States have districts and you get to allocate a larger portion of the electoral college as the second largest state.
