What we know so far about the EU-US trade deal
Many European businesses will breathe a sigh of relief after the leaders agreed the 27-country bloc will face a baseline levy of 15 percent instead of a threatened 30 percent -- but the deal will not satisfy everyone.
Here is what we know so far:
What did the EU-US agree?
Both sides confirmed there will be a 15-percent across-the-board rate on a majority of EU goods -- the same level secured by Japan this month -- with bilateral tariff exemptions on some products.
The deal will bring relief for the bloc's auto sector, employing around 13 million people -- and hit by Trump with 25-percent tariffs, on top of a pre-existing 2.5 percent.
"Obviously, it is good news for the car industry. So Germany will be happy. And all the EU members with auto supply chains, they go from 27.5 to 15 percent," said Jacob Funk Kirkegaard of the Peterson Institute For International Economics.
A 15-percent levy will remain "costly" for German automakers, "but it is manageable", said trade geopolitics expert Elvire Fabry at the Jacques Delors Institute.
While 15 percent is much higher than pre-existing US tariffs on European goods -- averaging 4.8 percent -- it mirrors the status quo, with companies currently facing an additional flat rate of 10 percent imposed by Trump since April.

The EU also committed to buy $750 billion of liquefied natural gas, oil and nuclear fuels from the United States -- split equally over three years -- to replace Russian energy sources.
And it will pour $600 billion more in additional investments in the United States.
Trump said EU countries -- which recently pledged to ramp up their defence spending within NATO -- would be purchasing "hundreds of billions of dollars' worth of military equipment".
Are there exemptions?
Von der Leyen said the 15-percent rate applied across most sectors, including semiconductors and pharmaceuticals -- a critical export for Ireland, which the bloc has sought to protect.
Trump in April launched probes that could lead to significantly steeper tariffs on the two key sectors, warning this month he could slap 200-percent levies on drugs.
Brussels and Washington agreed a bilateral tariff exemption for key goods including aircraft, certain chemicals, semiconductor equipment, certain agricultural products and critical raw materials, von der Leyen said.
The EU currently faces 50-percent tariffs on its steel exports to the United States, but von der Leyen said a compromise on the metal had been reached with Trump.

"Between us, tariffs will be cut and a quota system will be put in place," she said.
It is understood that European steel would be hit with 50-percent levies only after a certain amount of the metal arrived in the United States, but no details were initially provided on the mechanism.
What happens next?
The deal needs to be approved by EU member states, whose ambassadors will meet first thing Monday morning for a debrief from the European Commission.
And there are still technical talks to come, since the agreement needs to be fully fleshed out.
Von der Leyen described the deal as a "framework" agreement. "Details have to be sorted out, and that will happen over the next weeks," she said.
In particular, she said there has yet to be a final decision on alcohol, critical since France and The Netherlands have been pushing for carve-outs for wine and beer respectively.
"This is something which has to be sorted out in the next days," von der Leyen said.

Will Germany raise retirement age beyond 67? – DW – 08/01/2025
Germany's old-age pension system faces collapse under the weight of an aging population. The country's new Economy Minister Katherina Reiche wants Germans to work longer to make up for it. For German Economy Minister Katherina Reiche, there's a simple way to fix Germany's pension system: "We need to work more and longer," she flatly told the newspaper in late July, instantly triggering a new debate along familiar lines. Reiche argued that the pledges her government had made in the coalition contract earlier this year were just not going to be enough. Germany's aging population has long been recognized as a problem. The population's median age — 46.7 — is the eighth-highest in the world and the third-highest among major economies, after Japan and Italy. By 2040, fully a quarter of the population is expected to be 67 or older. This year, birth rate fell to its lowest point in 20 years. This has had a marked effect: In the early 1960s, there were still six actively insured workers for every pensioner — that ratio is now 2 to 1 and sinking, and in 2025, two-thirds of the Labor Ministry's budget will go into the pension system: €121 billion ($140 billion). "It cannot be sustainable in the long term for us to work only two-thirds of our adult lives and spend one-third in retirement," said Reiche. "Unfortunately, too many people have been refusing to accept the demographic reality for too long." Reiche's statements triggered a quick backlash from her center-left Cabinet colleagues. Lars Klingbeil, finance minister and leader of the Social Democratic Party (SPD), which traditionally sees itself catering to a working-class electorate, described Reiche's statement as a "slap in the face" for many workers. "It's easy to say that when you're sitting in your comfortable chair in Berlin," Klingbeil told news outlet ntv. "But you should go out and talk to the people in the country who are working as roofers, who are working as nurses, who are working as teachers and are really wearing themselves out and who are already struggling to make it to 67." Trade unions, meanwhile, said Reiche's plan was simply a new way to cut pensions. Many workers will be unable to work to a higher age for health reasons, forcing them to retire early, and accept deductions that permanently reduce their pensions. The contract agreed by Germany's two governing parties — Reiche's conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and the SPD — promised that Germany's current retirement age would not be raised. Instead, the contract pledged, "We want more flexibility in the transition from job to pension." In practice, "flexibility" means offering incentives to people who work beyond the legal retirement age. This would include measures like the so-called "Aktivrente" ("active pension"), by which any income of up to €2,000 per month is tax-free for those above the legal retirement age. Jan Scharpenberg, pensions expert at the financial advice company Finanztip, is convinced that the German pension system urgently needs to be reformed, but that the debate around it has become tedious. "The length of a working life is just one of the levers that can be adjusted to reform the German pension system in order to deal with the demographic transformation," he told DW. "And if I'm being really honest, I think it's a bit exhausting how for years and decades the same pro- and con arguments are being made, but no actual reform is put in place." While he agrees that raising the legal retirement age may become necessary, that doesn't negate the argument that it would, in practical terms, mean pension cuts for some people. "Those two things can be true at the same time, but that shouldn't prevent a pension reform," he said. "A reform of the system will only work if you combine and pull several levers." The retirement age system in Germany is dauntingly complicated. At the moment, the legal retirement age in Germany is 65, though it is scheduled to rise to 67 by 2031. But the age is staggered depending on the individual's year of birth, and how long they have paid into the system. And there are exceptions: People who are disabled or have paid into the system for 45 years, for example, can retire earlier. A contribution of 18.6% of an employee's gross monthly salary goes into the state retirement fund, with the employee and the employer each paying half. The government expects this contribution rate to rise to 22.3% by 2035, where it is supposed to level out until 2045. Johannes Geyer, public economics researcher at the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW), pointed out that the reason why the retirement age issue is so contentious is because it affects workers differently. "There are lot of people who can't imagine working beyond the age of 67," he said. "But those in perhaps better paid jobs can do that." To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video But many experts say the narrow focus on the retirement age is unhelpful, as there are many different ways of increasing contributions to the pension system. One measure, for example, would be to provide better child care facilities, so that more single parents are able to work full-time and therefore pay higher pension contributions. Another solution might be to make migrating to Germany to work easier and more attractive. There are also proposals to increase the number of people paying into the public system by including the self-employed and civil servants, a proposal made recently by Labor Minister Bärbel Bas from the SPD. Meanwhile, on the expense side of the ledger, some more painful measures might be put in place to balance the books. Apart from raising the retirement age, that might mean extending the "waiting time" (the number of years one must pay into the system before one can begin to draw a pension), or reducing the rate at which pensions increase every year. The pension increase is calculated based on the development of gross wages and salaries in Germany and is 3.74% for 2025. In the coalition agreement, the SPD was able to secure the pension level at 48% of the standard pension to the average income (before taxes) until 2031. Critics have labeled this as untenable. According to Scharpenberg, a mix of measures needs to be implemented. But instead, he said, the perennial political debate revolves around doing one measure or another, as if it were impossible to combine them. The German pension system is structured very differently to other European countries. In Denmark, for example, the retirement age is linked to the country's life expectancy, so that it rises automatically as people live longer. And in Sweden, an individual's contributions are invested in various financial markets and then the profits are paid out when that person reaches old age. "That helps to diversify the risk," said Geyer. "They're not so dependent on the aging of their own population." In the German system, on the other hand, contributions from workers are put into a single pot, which is used to finance current pensions. Geyer argues that, unlike other European countries, Germany has failed to develop private insurance options to complement state pensions so that they help the whole population, rather than just the rich. "Other countries have done that significantly better," he said. "The UK, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden — they all have systems of obligatory insurance with relatively low costs and good profits. That's missing here."While you're here: Every Tuesday, DW editors round up what is happening in German politics and society. You can sign up here for the weekly email newsletter Berlin Briefing.

How Trump's high tariffs against Brazil could backfire – DW – 08/01/2025
Brazil will pay as much as 50% tariffs on goods exported to the United States. But experts say the tariffs, along with sanctions on a Brazilian judge, indicate this isn't about economics but about Trump's politics. The newly announced tariffs by the US government on Brazilian imports, as well as Washington's move to sanction Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes "for serious human rights abuse," has caused a strong reaction in Brazil. Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has condemned American interference in the Brazilian legal system, calling it "unacceptable." The political motivation behind these measures undermines Brazil's sovereignty and threatens the relationship between the two countries, Lula said. From August 6, the US will impose tariffs of 50% on Brazilian imports into America. Somewhat surprisingly, around 700 Brazilian products were exempted. But experts have said this still puts the average tariff on Brazilian goods at around 30%. The European Union and Japan are only paying 15% tariffs. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video The US government, under President Donald Trump, has justified its new global tariffs by blaming a bilateral trade imbalance. The Trump administration has also given the prosecution of former President Jair Bolsonaro as an explanation for the punitive tariffs. Judge de Moraes is presiding over the trial of Bolsonaro, who is accused of masterminding a plot to stay in power despite his 2022 election defeat. The personal sanctions on de Moraes come under the US' Magnitsky Act, which allows the American government to sanction foreign government officials worldwide for human rights offenses. Among other things, de Moraes could see any assets he has in the US frozen. The US government had already prevented de Moraes and other Brazilian Supreme Court judges from entering the country. "The Magnitsky Act was previously used against the US' enemies but it always used to have a basis in human rights," said Demetrio Magnoli, a sociologist and foreign affairs columnist in Brazil. "But by using it for the first time against a judge in a democracy, Trump is shattering the human rights foundations of this law." As for the high tariffs, Magnoli told DW it's not unusual for Trump to use tariffs as a weapon in his trade war and deal-making. "But in the case of Brazil, he is using both tariffs and the Magnitsky Act for political and ideological reasons," the commentator noted. "A unique case worldwide and a direct attack on a democratic country and a US ally." Judge de Moraes has been seen as a nuisance by American right wingers since he ordered social media platform, X (formerly Twitter) blocked for several weeks in late 2024. De Moraes demanded that user accounts that violated Brazilian law be removed, part of an attempt to crack down on anti-democratic, far-right voices. Billionaire Elon Musk, the owner of X, tried to get around the court-ordered block and called for de Moraes to be impeached. But de Moraes actually became a target for Trump earlier than that, because of Bolsonaro. In late 2022, the former president was accused of planning a coup against his successor, Lula, something that could carry a sentence of up to 40 years in prison. Bolsonaro and his co-defendants have disputed this charge, and Trump has described it as "a witch hunt." De Moraes has also investigated Bolsonaro for, among other things, manufacturing disinformation and has convicted Bolsonaro's supporters for storming the government district in Brasilia in January 2023. As a result, the judge has been celebrated as a defender of democracy in Brazil, particularly by those on the left. But perhaps because of the parallels to Trump's own past — his supporters also stormed government buildings in January 2021, and Trump previously insisted the 2020 election was "stolen" from him — de Moraes' actions have been like a red rag to Brazil's bullish right wingers, and now also to Trump supporters. However, Guilherme Casaroes, a professor at the Sao Paulo School of Business Administration at the Getulio Vargas Foundation, sees a bright side. The fact that, contrary to his initial announcement two weeks ago, Trump is allowing numerous tariff exemptions means that Brazil did well in negotiations with the US, he said. "But it also clearly shows that Trump's motivation is not so much commercial and more political," said Casaroes. "Especially because Brazil actually has a trade deficit with the US." The expert believes there are three key factors influencing Trump's attack on Brazil. Firstly, the country's closer ties with China, which makes Brazil a battleground in the geopolitical conflict between the US and China. Secondly, this fight is ideological: Trump wants to be seen supporting his allies around the world. That includes Bolsonaro. And thirdly, the economic interests of US tech giants: "They don't want social media regulation," said Casaroes. In Brazil, Trump's onslaught has triggered Brazilian nationalism, especially on social media. That's fair, said sociologist and political commentator Celso Rocha de Barros. He described what he calls the "American intervention against the Brazilian Supreme Court" as "unacceptable imperialist aggression" and insisted that in the future, Brazil must "negotiate economic agreements without giving an inch on democratic and political issues." Rocha de Barros believes de Moraes is actually looking stronger after this episode. Even Supreme Court justices who felt more favorably about Bolsonaro don't want to be giving anybody the impression that they support foreign intervention in their own court, he said. But Demetrio Magnoli believes the US' attacks on de Moraes could actually find favor with parts of the Brazilian population. Many locals are unhappy with their Supreme Court, he pointed out. This is partially because what some think are the judges' too-high salaries, but it's also because of the high penalties meted out to what Magnoli called "the useful idiots of the Bolsonaro camp," those who participated in the January 2023 rioting. Some Brazilians also believe de Moraes became too powerful during the trial against Bolsonaro. In other ways, Trump's attacks actually offers the Brazilian president an opportunity. Lula is polling badly, but if he manages to convince the Brazilian parliament to help an economy badly hit by Trump's tariffs, he might become more popular again. And that would be the opposite of what the US leader was hoping for, Magnoli said.

Ukraine updates: Trump deploys nuclear subs near Russia – DW – 08/01/2025
President Donald Trump said he ordered two nuclear submarines near Russia after what he called "foolish and inflammatory" statements from a former Russian president. DW has more Russia has intensified its attacks on Ukraine, even as US President Donald Trump threatens tougher sanctions unless President Vladimir Putin agrees to a ceasefire in the coming days. A day of mourning was being held in Ukraine's capital on Friday a day after Russia launched waves of missiles and drones on Kyiv, killing 31 people and wounding over 150 others., On Thursday, Trump slammed Russia's military actions in Ukraine as "disgusting." He has given Putin until August 8 to reach a ceasefire or face President Donald Trump said Friday that he had ordered the deployment of two nuclear submarines in response to "provocative" comments by a senior Russian official. "Based on the highly provocative statements of the Former President of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev... I have ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that," Trump posted on his Truth Social platform. "Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances," he added. Trump's comments continue an ongoing war of words on social media between the US president and Russian former President Medvedev. Medvedev served as Russian president from 2008 to 2012, between President Vladimir Putin's terms in power, and is now deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video He attracted Trump's ire when he said the US president's threat to impose tariffs on buyers of Russian oil, such as India, constituted an "ultimatum game" whereby "each new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war" between Moscow and Washington. On Thursday, Medvedev wrote in a post on Telegram that, "if some words from the former president of Russia trigger such a nervous reaction from the high-and-mighty president of the United States, then Russia is doing everything right and will continue to proceed along its own path." He also said Trump should remember "how dangerous the fabled 'Dead Hand' can be" — a reference to a secretive, semi-automated, Soviet-era command system designed to launch Moscow's nuclear missiles in the event of its leadership being eliminated. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reiterated on Friday his willingness to sit down with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin. Zelenskyy was reacting to the Russian president's statements on Friday that Moscow hoped for more peace talks with Ukraine. Zelenskyy said Ukraine wants to "move beyond" statements and lower-level meetings on the matter. "If these are signals of a genuine willingness to end the war with dignity and establish a truly lasting Ukraine once again reaffirms its readiness to meet at the level of leaders at any time," he wrote on social media. Earlier, Putin said the momentum of the war was in Russia's favor, signaling no shift in his stance despite a looming sanctions deadline from the United States. US President Trump said he would impose sanctions on Russia unless it stopped the war by August 8. "We need a lasting and stable peace on solid foundations that would satisfy both Russia and Ukraine, and would ensure the security of both countries," Putin told reporters, adding: "The conditions (from the Russian side) certainly remain the same." Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday that he hopes peace talks between Russia and Ukraine will continue. He said talks should be conducted "without cameras and in a calm atmosphere." He mentioned that working groups could discuss possible compromises. However, he made it clear that Moscow's goals have not changed. At the same time, Putin said Russian troops were attacking Ukraine along the entire front line and that the momentum was in their favor. He cited his Defence Ministry's statement that it had captured the town of Chasiv Yar in eastern Ukraine after nearly 16 months of fighting. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Thursday dismissed Russian claims of capturing Chasiv Yar as "disinformation." "Ukrainian units are holding our positions," Zelenskyy said in his daily video address on Thursday evening. "It is not easy, but it is the defense of Ukrainians' very right to life." European Union foreign affairs chief Kaja Kallas said tougher sanctions on Russia are the fastest way to end the war in Ukraine. She also said Kyiv needs more weapons. "Getting more air defenses to Ukraine fast is our priority," she said after a deadly Russian attack on Kyiv. She described the Russian attacks as "depraved" and posted a photo of the bloc's flag at half-staff. The United States welcomed over 180,000 Ukrainians fleeing war under a program started by the previous Joe Biden administration. With Donald Trump back in office, the program has been suspended, and Ukrainians are quietly being pressured to leave.

In return, Germany has agreed with the US Defense Department that it will be the first country to receive expedited delivery of new-generation Patriot systems. The Patriot is one of the world's most advanced air defense systems, capable of intercepting aircraft and missiles. Germany had delivered three Patriot systems to Ukraine earlier in the war. Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said the announcement "shows once again that Germany is by far Ukraine's strongest supporter when it comes to air defense." The two launchers will head to Ukraine in the coming days, followed by additional system components to be handed over in two to three months. Patriot systems are fully mobile batteries that include a command center, a radar station to detect incoming threats, and launchers. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio described India's continued oil imports from Russia as a "point of irritation" for Washington. Speaking to Fox News Radio, Rubio said, "Unfortunately, that is helping to sustain the Russian war effort. So it is most certainly a point of irritation in our relationship with India, not the only point of irritation." US President Trump has signed an order imposing new tariffs set to take effect August 7, including 25% duties on goods from India. He also added penalties due to India's reliance on Russia for oil and military equipment. India has faced pressure from Western countries, including the United States, to reduce its ties with Russia since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. New Delhi has resisted, citing its longstanding relationship with Russia, through the BRICS alliance and bilaterally, and its economic needs. Russia used over 3,800 drones and nearly 260 missiles for its attacks on Ukraine in July, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. In a post on social media, he urged "increased pressure on Moscow and additional sanctions." "They must target everything that enables such attacks to continue," he wrote in the wake of a deadly attack on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv. Zelenskyy added that the Russian attacks can only be stopped through joint efforts by the US, Europe, and other global actors. US President Donald Trump criticized the latest Russian missile and drone attack on Ukraine, suggesting that new sanctions against Moscow were coming. "Russia, I think it's disgusting what they're doing," Trump told journalists as he took questions after an executive order signing at the White House. Trump, who initially gave Russia 50 days to reach a ceasefire with Ukraine or face tariffs, shortened the deadline to "10 or 12 days" on Monday and said Tuesday the countdown was now at 10 days. On Thursday, he said, "I don't know that sanctions bother him," referring his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin. White House envoy Steve Witkoff was expected to travel to Russia, but it was not clear if he would meet with Putin. The death toll from Russian missile and drone strikes on Kyiv on Thursday has risen to 31, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Friday. The toll was revised upward after rescuers recovered more bodies, including a two-year-old child from a residential building in the Sviatoshynsky district. "Once again, this vile strike by Russia demonstrates the need for increased pressure on Moscow and additional sanctions," Zelenskyy wrote on social media. "No matter how much the Kremlin denies their effectiveness, sanctions do work – and they must be strengthened. They must target everything that enables such attacks to continue." The mayor of the Ukrainian capital, Vitali Klitschko, said more than 150 people had been injured, including 16 children. Klitschko said it was the highest number of children wounded in a single night since Russia's full-scale invasion began. Russia's Defense Ministry said it had targeted Ukrainian military airfields and ammunition depots linked to Kyiv's military-industrial complex. However, officials reported that schools and hospitals were damaged in 27 locations across the city. City authorities have declared Friday a day of mourning.

In this blog, we'll take a closer look at the geopolitical fallout. US President Donald Trump's patience with Russian President Vladimir Putin appears to be wearing thin. Over the past few days, Trump has repeatedly shortened the deadline to impose sanctions on Russia over its actions in Ukraine. His envoy, Steve Witkoff, is expected to travel to Russia after his current stop in Israel. The outcome of the trip could be telling.
