[US-EU trade deal - Trump's victory, EU's second-best choice] Donald Trump and Ursula von der Leyen announced that they had reached a US-EU trade deal. Although this marks a easing of transatlantic tensions, the compromise terms are clearly more favorable to Washington. For the EU, the primary goal is to maintain economic stability and protect strategic industrial interests. "I think this is the greatest deal ever." Trump commented on the agreement during a meeting with European Commission President von der Leyen yesterday. This continues his usual exaggerated style (the same statement was used when signing the agreement with Japan four days ago). The two leaders announced the news after the meeting at Trump Golf Course in Turnberry, Scotland. It was undoubtedly a successful weekend for the US President - especially since the agreement is clearly beneficial to the United States.
