None of that will be put into US law. And that means Trump could wake up the next morning and announce a whole new round of tariffs.

It is abundantly clear that the EU is looking to delay in order to make other moves that ramp up the pressure on Trump. For example, the new trade deal France just signed with Vietnam.

Behold The Art of the deal.
