推进立法，取消美国工业品关税，欧盟投降了？引发内部强烈反对，多个成员国批评软弱

Group 1 - The EU is proposing legislation to eliminate tariffs on US industrial goods, leading to internal backlash from member states like Germany and France, questioning whether this signifies a concession to the US [1][3] - The trade agreement announced on August 21 between the EU and the US imposes a 15% base "reciprocal tariff" on EU goods, with additional tariffs of up to 50% on steel and aluminum products, indicating a significant concession from the EU [1][3] - The EU's dependency on the US market is highlighted, with exports to the US amounting to $370 billion, representing 13% of total exports, and a trade surplus of $245.9 billion, which creates a lack of negotiating power for the EU [3][5] Group 2 - The EU's defense spending is also heavily reliant on the US, with NATO members expected to increase defense budgets to 5% of GDP, further entrenching the EU's dependence on American products and military support [5] - Internal divisions within the EU hinder effective countermeasures against US trade policies, as member states prioritize their own interests over collective action, leading to a "divide and conquer" strategy by the US [5][7] - The EU's concessions in the trade agreement are expected to negatively impact its economy, with a projected annual GDP loss of 0.3% in the short term and 0.1% in the long term, as European companies may relocate investments to avoid high tariffs [7][8] Group 3 - The agricultural sector in Europe feels neglected in the trade agreement, as it faces the same 15% tariffs on exports to the US, while the automotive industry appears to benefit the most, creating tensions among different sectors [8]
