The US and EU have struck a trade deal that would impose Amer­ican tar­iffs of 15 per cent on most imports from the bloc, Don­ald Trump said yes­ter­day.The EU has agreed to spend hun­dreds of bil­lions of dol­lars on addi­tional Amer­ican energy products and weapons as part of the deal, the US pres­id­ent said.The agree­ment, which is set to avoid a transat­lantic trade war, was struck dur­ing a meet­ing between Trump and European Com­mis­sion pres­id­ent Ursula von der Leyen at his Turn­berry golf resort in Scot­land.The deal marks a vic­tory for Trump, who has spent months for­cing Amer­ica’s trad­ing part­ners into bruis­ing nego­ti­ations by threat­en­ing steep tar­iffs, although the terms are in line with what Brus­sels had told EU mem­ber states to pre­pare for.“This is prob­ably the biggest deal ever reached in any capa­city, trade or bey­ond trade,” Trump said as he announced the agree­ment.Trump said the EU would spend an addi­tional $750bn on US energy products, invest $600bn in the US and buy “a vast amount” of Amer­ican mil­it­ary equip­ment worth “hun­dreds of bil­lions of dol­lars” as part of the deal.He also said the US would put tar­iffs of 15 per cent on EU goods, includ­ing auto­mo­biles, in exchange for the bloc “open­ing up their coun­tries at zero tar­iff”.Trump had threatened to impose 30 per cent tar­iffs on the EU if no deal had been struck by August 1.1. strike a deal词性：动词短语意思：达成协议、达成交易语气：略口语化，但在财经、政治新闻中很常见同义词：reach an agreement / seal a deal例句：The two companies struck a deal to share research on electric vehicles.两家公司达成协议，共享电动车的研究成果。The government struck a deal with the opposition to pass the budget.政府与反对派达成协议以通过预算案。2. steep词性：形容词（在经济语境中）意思：（价格或增长）陡峭的、过高的、急剧的也可作动词（泡茶、浸泡），但在经济或新闻语境中通常是形容词语境：描述上涨/下降的速度或程度大（常含“令人吃惊”的意味）例句：The city is known for its steep housing prices.这座城市以房价高昂而闻名。There has been a steep increase in energy costs this winter.这个冬天能源价格急剧上升。3. in exchange for词性：介词短语意思：作为交换、用……换取语气：正式、常用于谈判、协议、交易等场合例句：The hostages were released in exchange for a ransom.人质被释放，作为交换获得了一笔赎金。She gave up her career in exchange for a more peaceful life.她放弃了事业，换来了更平静的生活。
