US-EU trade deal is a ‘dark day’ for Europe, says French PM The French prime minister, François Bayrou, said the EU has capitulated to Donald Trump’s threats of ever-increasing tariffs, as he labelled the framework deal struck in Scotland on Sunday as a “dark day” for the EU. ......... “It is a dark day when an alliance of free peoples, brought together to affirm their common values and to defend their common interests, resigns itself to submission,” Bayrou wrote on X on Monday......... The German chancellor, Friedrich Merz, and the Italian prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, welcomed the deal, which European trade commissioner Maroš Šefčovič described on a Monday as a “breakthrough” in the face of an potential ruinous trade war between the world’s two biggest economies. .......... The deal, which will impose 15% tariffs on almost all European exports to the US including cars, around triple the 4.8% tariff now in force, but avoiding the threat of a punitive 30% import duties being imposed on Trump’s 1 August deadline for a deal. ......... The high-level French criticism, and Emmanuel Macron’s silence since the deal was signed between Trump and the European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, shows potential divisions as Brussels seeks to get approval for the deal from member states. ........ Meloni welcomed the deal, saying it had avoided “potentially devastating” consequences. ........ European stock markets hit a four-month high at the start of trading on Monday, amid relief that a deal had been reached. ......... But France, considered the co-pilot of the EU project along with Germany, made its disapproval clear. .......

The German bank Berenberg said the deal brought to an end the “crippling uncertainty” but said it was a victory for Trump.

....... “It is great to have a deal. In two major respects, however, the outcome remains much worse than the situation before Trump started his new round of trade wars early this year,” said Holger Schmieding, Berenberg’s chief economist. ........
The extra US tariffs will hurt both the US and the EU.
