European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said late Sunday that the trade deal reached with the United States (US) on Sunday is "the best we could get" and not to be underestimated given the looming threat of 30% duties that had been hanging over the EU, per Reuters.
Key quotes
Deal was the best it could get.
The deal is a stabilizer no stacking up tariffs, no multiple rates.
15% rate is a ceiling and becomes permanent.
Digital rules or tech regulation were not mentioned.
Alternative was a trade war deal.
It is a stabilizer that will translate into higher tariffs compared to under Biden.
Market reaction
At the time of writing, EUR/USD is trading 0.11% higher on the day at 1.1755.
Tariffs FAQs
Tariffs are customs duties levied on certain merchandise imports or a category of products. Tariffs are designed to help local producers and manufacturers be more competitive in the market by providing a price advantage over similar goods that can be imported. Tariffs are widely used as tools of protectionism, along with trade barriers and import quotas.
Although tariffs and taxes both generate government revenue to fund public goods and services, they have several distinctions. Tariffs are prepaid at the port of entry, while taxes are paid at the time of purchase. Taxes are imposed on individual taxpayers and businesses, while tariffs are paid by importers.
There are two schools of thought among economists regarding the usage of tariffs. While some argue that tariffs are necessary to protect domestic industries and address trade imbalances, others see them as a harmful tool that could potentially drive prices higher over the long term and lead to a damaging trade war by encouraging tit-for-tat tariffs.
During the run-up to the presidential election in November 2024, Donald Trump made it clear that he intends to use tariffs to support the US economy and American producers. In 2024, Mexico, China and Canada accounted for 42% of total US imports. In this period, Mexico stood out as the top exporter with $466.6 billion, according to the US Census Bureau. Hence, Trump wants to focus on these three nations when imposing tariffs. He also plans to use the revenue generated through tariffs to lower personal income taxes.
