Schumer blasts Trump's EU deal: 'It's fake!

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) blasted the trade deal negotiated between the United States and the European Union over the weekend, calling it “fake.”

The trade deal sets tariffs on European goods at 15 percent, half the rate Trump had previously threatened on the continent. In exchange, the EU has pledged to buy $750 billion in American energy over the next three years.

“Trump would have you believe it’s the biggest deal ever,” Schumer complained. “Europe has admitted that this agreement isn’t legally binding, and they have no control over whether these investments even happen.”

While Europe is presumably avoiding a trade war with the U.S., several leading figures condemned the deal. French Prime Minister François Bayrou called Sunday a “dark day” in a post on the social platform X.

It's a concept of a deal.
