EU bows to Trump pressure on tariffs but warns of future chaos
The European Parliament approved reducing tariffs on US goods to honor a trade deal with the US and prevent a new tariff conflict. The deal, negotiated by President Donald Trump at his Scottish golf course in July 2019, involves the EU removing duties on US industrial goods in exchange for 15% tariffs on EU products.
