美欧达成贸易协议，美国降低关税，欧盟让步巨大，泽连斯基成赢家

Core Viewpoint - The U.S. has successfully leveraged its tariff war to gain significant concessions from the EU, allowing for increased access to the $20 trillion European market and commitments for military purchases, which benefits both the U.S. economy and Ukraine amidst the ongoing conflict with Russia [1][9]. Group 1: Tariff Strategy - The U.S. has shifted its strategy from providing aid to selling military equipment to the EU, which is now required to purchase U.S. weapons to support Ukraine against Russia [3]. - The U.S. threatened to impose a 30% tariff, which pressured the EU to agree to a reduced tariff rate of 15%, demonstrating the effectiveness of U.S. tactics [3][6]. - The EU's acceptance of the 15% tariff is seen as a significant concession, as a 30% tariff would have been detrimental to the EU [6]. Group 2: EU's Position and Response - The concessions made by the EU highlight an unequal power dynamic between the EU and the U.S., with the EU historically supporting U.S. foreign strategies [8]. - The leadership of the EU Commission, particularly Ursula von der Leyen, has been criticized for prioritizing U.S. interests over those of the EU during negotiations [8]. - There is growing discontent among EU member states regarding the agreements made with the U.S., indicating internal divisions and dissatisfaction with the current trade dynamics [8][9].
