Trump Secures ‘Biggest Of All’ Trade Deals With EU

RNN Staff

President Donald Trump on Sunday unveiled what he called the “biggest” trade deal yet—this time with the European Union—marking another massive win in his aggressive push to rebalance global trade in favor of the United States.

Flanked by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen at his Turnberry estate in Scotland, Trump read from a prepared list of the major provisions, touting them as transformative for American workers, manufacturers, and energy producers.

According to Trump, the agreement includes:

  • $750 billion in energy purchases from the United States by the EU

  • $600 billion in new European investment into the American economy

  • A commitment to buy a “vast amount” of U.S. military equipment

  • Equalized tariffs—15% “straight across” on EU automobiles and other imports

  • A broader opening of European markets to U.S. goods and services

“It’s the biggest of all the deals,” Trump declared. “Nobody’s ever seen anything like this. It’s not just about trade — it’s about jobs, energy independence, and peace through strength.”

European Commission President von der Leyen confirmed the deal had been reached after what she described as “tough negotiations,” noting that it would create a new baseline of “stability and predictability” for businesses on both sides of the Atlantic.

“We have a trade deal between the two largest economies in the world — and it’s a big deal. It’s a huge deal,” she said, emphasizing the importance of resolving the trade imbalance. “This agreement helps correct the surplus that existed in the EU’s favor and creates a fair and reciprocal foundation moving forward.”

The EU was facing a looming August 1 deadline to reach a deal or face a sharp 30% tariff hike on imports into the U.S. Instead, negotiators settled on a 15% across-the-board rate—lower than expected but uniform, and described by Trump as “fair and patriotic.”

While Trump did not disclose any concessions made by the U.S., von der Leyen acknowledged that the talks focused on narrowing America’s trade deficit with Europe—a top priority for Trump since the 2016 campaign.

The announcement marks yet another triumph in Trump’s post-“Liberation Day” economic offensive. Since April, the Trump administration has finalized framework trade agreements with the United Kingdom, China, and Indonesia. Just last week, Trump announced a deal with Japan involving over $500 billion in investment, calling it “perhaps the largest Deal ever made.”

South Korea remains in negotiations with Washington and faces a similar August deadline before it could be hit with higher tariffs if no agreement is reached.

Trump’s broader strategy has been to leverage America’s economic might—particularly access to U.S. markets—as a bargaining chip to force more favorable trade terms and repatriate industrial investment. Sunday’s deal with the EU underscores that approach.

“This is what leadership looks like,” a senior administration official said. “President Trump has used the strength of the U.S. economy not to bully, but to negotiate from a position of strength. These deals aren’t just good—they’re historic.”

With global markets reacting positively to the news and EU leaders publicly endorsing the deal’s framework, it’s yet another signal that Trump’s America First trade doctrine is not only working—it’s winning.
