On July 30th, local time, German Alternative for Germany (AfD) leader Weidel visited Hungary and met with Hungarian Prime Minister Orbán. Later, in an interview with a podcast, she stated that the trade deal recently announced between the EU and the US was a "Trump deal," and that both the EU and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen had been "duped." Weidel noted that US tariffs have harmed European industry, and that Europe is now forced to pay to support Ukraine's arms purchases from the US, paying for a war no one wants. "This is absurd and demonstrates European weakness"—this agreement is fundamentally contrary to the wishes of the European people. On July 27th, local time, Trump and Ursula von der Leyen jointly announced the conclusion of a new US-EU trade agreement. Trump revealed some details of the new agreement, including a 15% US tariff on EU exports, an additional $600 billion in EU investment in the US, and $750 billion in US energy purchases.
