Trump sets EU tariff at 15%, lower than his original threat, after meeting in Scotland

President Trump shakes hands with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on July 27, 2025 at his golf resort in Turnberry, Scotland, after the two leaders agreed to terms for a trade deal.

Trump had most recently threatened tariffs of 30% on imports from the European Union. But on Sunday, he met with the president of the European Commission, and they agreed to a lower level.
