“ Exports to the United States fell by nearly 50% in June, while the trade deficit with China expanded at almost the same pace.
The European Union recorded a trade surplus of $8.18 billion in June, a steep 66.2% drop compared to the $24.19 billion surplus registered in the same month last year. The main driver was a sharp decline in exports, as negotiations with the United States over tariffs weighed heavily on trade flows.
According to the latest data from Eurostat, the EU’s statistics office, exports reached $277.20 billion, while imports totaled $269.02 billion. Year-on-year, exports rose just 0.4%, compared with a 6.8% increase in imports.
The first-half figures show a similar trend: EU goods exports reached $1.736 trillion, up 3.9%, while imports grew 4.9% to $1.627 trillion. This left a trade surplus of $109.03 billion, down 8.5% from the same period in 2024.” – FXLeaders
It looks like Europe have to cut expenses and increase taxes soon.
The US and the EU need each other and are stronger together, for economic prosperity, security (Ukraine, NATO), and otherwise. The idea of countries being so highly interconnected is that no country could rationally harm the other country, either militarily or economically, without harming itself. It makes sense, but apparently it doesn’t really hold up when the president of one of the countries is an idiot who operates completely irrationally and doesn’t mind acting against the best interest of his citizens.
US companies stockpiled a lot of resources before the tariffs. New trade deals are probably being made. Or they might wait until TACO. When the stockpiles run out the US will be hit by a pretty high inflation. That will scare Trump.
Extremely based
The surplus was not a thing if we consider the services. What this deal made is only benefit more the US.
