“输家很多，赢家很少”，德法不满美欧贸易协议

Group 1 - The US and EU have reached a trade agreement that imposes a 15% tariff on EU goods while the EU commits to invest $600 billion in the US and purchase $750 billion worth of US energy products and military equipment [1][7][10] - The agreement is seen as a significant trade deal, covering nearly 44% of global GDP, and is aimed at avoiding a potential transatlantic trade war [10] - Despite the agreement, the euro experienced its largest single-day drop since May, and European stock markets turned negative, indicating market concerns about the deal's implications [1][10] Group 2 - German Chancellor Merz expressed that the agreement could severely damage the economies of both the US and Europe, leading to higher inflation and affecting transatlantic trade [2][4] - French Prime Minister and far-right leaders criticized the deal as a sign of EU weakness, with claims that it represents a surrender for Europe [4][5] - The Polish Prime Minister estimated that Poland could incur losses of approximately $2.16 billion due to the agreement, reflecting broader concerns among EU nations about the economic impact [5][6] Group 3 - The German automotive industry warned that even a 15% tariff could result in billions in losses annually, highlighting the negative impact on European exports [11] - The American Chamber of Commerce in the EU welcomed the agreement but noted that the 15% tariff still significantly increases trade costs, suggesting a need for a broader zero-tariff list [11] - US businesses also expressed a lack of enthusiasm, indicating that while avoiding a trade war is positive, the long-term effects of the 15% tariff could lead to strained relations with key allies [11]
