Tariff Deal / Europe’s Submission?

What exactly did the US and the EU agree on, how did the tariff arrangement come about, and how was it communicated? What are the consequences? These are the questions Volker Finthammer, Doris Simon, and Peter Kapern discussed in Deutschlandfunk’s politics podcast. Once again, the strength of the format and the broadcaster becomes clear. When a situation arises, they can connect correspondents from Berlin, Brussels, and Washington, each bringing in their expertise from the ground. I don’t share the thesis raised in the title. The outcome of the negotiations reflects the balance of power, but the details are still unresolved. And how long this result will hold remains uncertain.
