WASHINGTON – President Trump’s massive deal with the European Union deepens our strategic partnership and advances America’s economic footprint, securing $750 billion in energy purchases and $600 billion in investments. The U.S.-EU Framework proves that America can maintain tariffs to shrink the goods trade deficit while expanding U.S. market access.
The announcement was quickly lauded by American farmers, agricultural associations, manufacturers, industry leaders, and lawmakers:
American Petroleum Institute: We welcome @POTUS’s announcement of a U.S.-EU trade framework that will help solidify America’s role as Europe’s leading source of affordable, reliable and secure energy.
American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall: We appreciate that the administration is making agriculture a priority in ongoing trade discussions. Opening new markets and working to strengthen existing partnerships will help ensure U.S. farmers can continue leading the world in producing safe, sustainable and affordable food for America’s families and families around the world.
National Grain and Feed Association President and CEO Mike Seyfert: NGFA appreciates President Trump’s tireless efforts to expand international markets for U.S. agriculture, and we applaud the announcement of a trade deal framework with the European Union. This is a meaningful step forward in opening one of the world’s most restrictive markets to American producers. We are encouraged by the President’s call to diversify agricultural trade with the EU, and we look forward to ongoing discussions to build on that goal.
U.S. Grains Council President and CEO Ryan LeGrand: While we are eager to see the details, the Council thanks President Trump, the USDA and the USTR for continuing their tireless effort to bring about fair trade between the U.S. and the EU. This deal promises to build upon long-established trade with our eighth largest grains-in-all-forms trading partner worth more than $1 billion in the 2023-2024 marketing year.
Corn Refiners Association President and CEO John Bode: Addressing trade issues with the European Union has been a critical need for American agriculture for years, and we are thrilled to see the Trump Administration make progress with this important market. We look forward to learning more about this agreement and seeing how the EU will improve its standing as a trading partner for American farmers, ranchers, and agriculture manufacturers. A strong trade relationship between the U.S. and the 27 countries in the EU will benefit producers and consumers on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.
U.S. Meat Federation President and CEO Dan Halstrom: USMEF thanks the Trump administration for prioritizing agricultural market access in negotiations with the EU and with other key trading partners. We are pleased to see that the U.S. and EU intend to work together to address non-tariff barriers inhibiting agricultural trade. The U.S. is a net importer of red meat from the EU due to the vast barriers the EU imposes on imports. EU imports of U.S. red meat totaled just $245 million in 2024, mostly beef, while the U.S. imported $698 million worth of red meat (mostly pork) from the EU. Addressing the EU’s tariff and non-tariff barriers is essential to enabling U.S. export growth.
American Iron and Steel Institute President and CEO Kevin Dempsey: AISI welcomes the trade agreement announced today between the U.S. and the EU, which is one of our country’s most important trading partners. We also appreciate President Trump's continued commitment to a strong and competitive American steel industry, which is essential to America's national security and economic prosperity.
Steel Manufacturers Association President Philip Bell: The Steel Manufacturers Association applauds President Trump’s announcement of a historic framework for a trade deal with the European Union, keeping his vow to put America first. By crafting a deal with the E.U. that opens market access, ensures American-made energy will power Europe, drives substantial investments in the U.S., and boldly maintains the national security tariffs on steel, President Trump has made America stronger.
National Marine Manufacturers Association President and CEO Frank Hugelmeyer: We applaud President Trump and the European Union for reaching an agreement that protects U.S. recreational boats and engines from additional retaliatory tariffs. The United States is the world's largest recreational boating market. Preserving access to global markets is essential to sustaining the $2.3 billion in annual exports of U.S. boats and marine engines. We appreciate today’s outcome, which represents a shared commitment to business certainty and a stable trading relationship.
General Aviation Manufacturers Association President and CEO James Viola: We commend the Trump Administration and EU Commission officials for working together to support the civil aerospace supply chain and foster the health and growth of the aerospace industry. The global success of the general aviation manufacturing industry drives innovation, enhances safety and strengthens economic opportunity. This deal, along with the previously announced US-UK Economic Prosperity Deal, will help provide stability for the industry and drive competitiveness. We are grateful that the Trump Administration has acknowledged the value of a zero-tariff environment for civil aerospace with these trading partners and urge the Trump Administration to further support for the Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft with other trading partners.
National Business Aviation Association President and CEO Ed Bolen: NBAA applauds the administration’s decision to return to the zero-for-zero tariff agreement for aircraft and component products traded between the United States and the European Union. This decision restores a level playing field on trade, allowing for further innovation in aerospace, securing America’s global aerospace safety leadership and growing the exceptional trade surplus the U.S. has enjoyed in the sector for decades.
Airlines for America: We are grateful that both the Trump Administration and the leadership of the European Commission understand the critical role aviation plays in facilitating global commerce and connectivity. As a result, they have agreed to zero-for-zero tariffs for all aircraft and component parts. The zero-for-zero tariff regime will grow jobs, strengthen our economic security and provide a framework for U.S. leadership in manufacturing and safety.
Delta Air Lines: The US/EU trade agreement reached between President Trump and EU leadership is welcome news given it preserves a zero-tariff environment on aircraft and component parts, a reciprocal policy that’s been in place for over 40 years. This important step in the President’s trade negotiations will help protect and continue to grow the role of air travel as a driver of U.S. economic growth, innovation, and high-quality jobs, while protecting the $104 billion annual US trade surplus in the aerospace industry.
Software & Information Industry Association President Chris Mohr: We congratulate President Trump and EU Commission President von der Leyen on the framework agreement that was reached yesterday. A trade war between the world’s two largest economies would have benefitted neither side. In our engagements with U.S. and EU officials, we have been adamant about the need to find constructive ways to address the concerns of our members related to EU digital regulations, such as the Digital Markets Act.
Speaker Mike Johnson: Another HISTORIC trade deal secured by President Trump! @POTUS continues to deliver for America and our workers by fixing trade relationships that have long been one-sided.
