Brussels Bends The Knee: EU Signs Off On Deep Tariff Cuts For American Goods

[RhodyPatriot]

Oh look.

Trump just proved the tariff naysayers wrong for like the 20th time since last April when depression and a stock market crash were supposedly in the works.

European Union (EU) countries have endorsed sweeping tariff cuts for American farm and manufactured products, adopting negotiating mandates that move the bloc closer to eliminating all remaining duties on U.S. industrial goods and opening new preferential access for a broad range of American agricultural exports.

The framework also extends beyond tariffs, covering digital trade, non-tariff barriers, energy supply, critical minerals, defense procurement, and standards cooperation. The EU has committed to purchase $750 billion in U.S. natural gas, oil, and nuclear products through 2028, plus at least $40 billion in U.S.-made AI chips for European computing centers. EU companies also plan to invest another $600 billion in the United States through 2028.

It's the non-tariff barriers too though. Canada will have to eventually allow U.S access to banking, telecom and dairy as well.

Trump is just preaching patience while the treasury grows.

Yep.

He's already shrunk the deficit by nearly 4 trillion.

If it were anyone but Trump, the media would be singing his praises.

But for half the country, TDS overrides any other form of stimuli.

Imagine how the left would be singing the praises if Obama
was the president doing this.
It's just weird to think about that.

$4 trillion

According to the CBO my assertion is FALSE.

They've amended it to only 3 trillion.

Initial analyses from August 2025 by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projected that President Trump's tariff policies could reduce the federal deficit by $4 trillion over a decade, provided the policies were maintained. However, the CBO updated this estimate in November 2025, lowering the expected deficit reduction to $3 trillion through Fiscal Year 2035. The revision was primarily due to new data and a greater understanding of how the tariffs were being paid, though some of the change also reflected recent adjustments to tariff policies.

U.S. trade deficit dropped nearly 24% in August as Trump's tariffs reduce imports

In a report delayed for more than seven weeks by the federal government shutdown, the Commerce Department said Wednesday that the the gap between what the United States buys from other countries and what it sells them fell to $59.6 billion in August, from $78.2 billion in July.
