It looks to me like they’re trying to make the best out of a bad situation. There’s more tariff now on EU goods, but it may keep the US involved in Ukraine while the concessions made on the EU side aren’t massive in the grand scheme of things.
At the same time this deal says to everyone who’s looking “We try, despite our differences”, which makes it rather difficult to paint the EU as the bad guy if he reconsiders.
At the end of the day what the EU wants to be internationally is a reliable partner. That’s what trust is built on.
It’s very disappointing if you wanted a strong response for an ephemeral short term win. In the long run, the 15% tariffs alone will harm the US while the EU will diversify more its market.
With this show of cowardice and spinelessness the project European Union is dead to me.

The EU is not perfect but it’s the best option we have
