Summary/Abstract: The US-EU Trade Agreement, announced in July 2025, should be considered a failure for the EU Commission’s negotiating team, since the economic benefits are one-sided in favor of the USA. Apart from the additional 15% ad-valorem duties for EU exports (with minor exceptions), the Agreement includes commitments on the part of EU for investments in the USA and purchases of energy products from the USA that total $1.35 trillion until the end of 2028. After the EU’s largely unsuccessful 18 packages of sanctions on the Russian Federation – and their negative side effect on EU’s economy, the Agreement with the US should be considered as the EU Commission’s new failure in responding to current geopolitical and economic challenges.
