US vice president JD Vance praised Donald Trump for securing a major trade agreement with the European Union, saying European media outlets are applauding the deal.
“The entire European press is singing the president’s praises right now, amazed at the deal he negotiated on behalf of Americans,” Vance said wrote on Sunday (local time) on social media platform X.
However, he also drew a satire at American media houses, saying, “Tomorrow the American media will undoubtedly run headlines like ‘Donald Trump Only Got 99.9 Percent of What He Asked For’.”
The remarks came after President Trump announced that the United States and the European Union had “reached a deal” on trade, calling it “a good deal for everybody.”
Under the agreement, the US will impose a 15% tariff on products imported from the EU, a move aimed at averting a deeper trade rift. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen also described the outcome as “a good deal”, according to AFP.
Speaking to reporters in Scotland, where the talks were held at Trump’s Turnberry golf resort, the president revealed that the EU has committed to $600 billion in new investments in the US, along with $750 billion in energy purchases.
“It was a very interesting negotiation. I think it's going to be great for both parties,” he said.
Meanwhile, vice president Vance would be heading to his home state of Ohio on Monday to continue promoting the GOP’s major tax-and-border legislation.
He’s scheduled to visit a steel plant in Canton, about 60 miles south of Cleveland, where he’ll highlight the bill’s “benefits for hardworking American families and businesses,” according to his office. While few details have been shared ahead of the visit, NBC News reports that his remarks will centre on how the bill supports local industry.
This will be Vance’s second trip this month to pitch the legislation, which combines several conservative priorities and has been branded by Republicans as the “One Big, Beautiful Bill.” As its lead spokesperson on the road, Vance has taken a front seat in selling the plan to the public.
Earlier in West Pittston, Pennsylvania, he told workers at an industrial machine shop that the bill lets people keep more of what they earn, pointing to new tax deductions on overtime as a key example.
