Analyst: EU-US trade deal 'replaces' EU autonomy with 'vulnerability and an over-reliance on the US’

The US and the European Union have sealed a trade deal - averting the threat of a trade war. But it's getting a mixed response from European leaders. Some say it was the best possible result considering the circumstances, while others view it as a capitulation to the US. Heading into their talks on Sunday, US President Donald Trump and European Union chief Ursula von der Leyen said there was a 50-50 chance of reaching an agreement, with Trump’s August 1st deadline looming. Around an hour later, they emerged, announcing a breakthrough between the world's two biggest economies. The result is a 15% tariff on most exports from the EU to the US. In addition, the EU agreed to make huge investments in US products, including energy and military equipment.
