EU and US agree trade deal, with 15% tariffs for European exports to America17 minutes agoShareSaveSarah SmithBBC North America Editor, at Turnberry, ScotlandShareSaveI think it's the biggest deal ever made – TrumpThe United States and European Union have reached a trade deal, ending a months-long standoff between two of the world's biggest economic partners.

That is half the 30% import tax rate Trump had threatened to implement starting on Friday. He said the 27-member bloc would open its markets to US exporters with zero per cent tariffs on certain products.

The U.S. military under President Donald Trump is now free to fight wars without its hands tied behind its back, White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller has claimed.

”One of the reasons why people lost faith in the military and the capacity to use that military to defend us is because we had a woke Pentagon. Because we had a military who at the very highest level – not the war-fighters – was forced to fight a less than full fight.”
