Remember when the president said the E.U. would give him $600 billion that he could “do anything” he pleases with? That weird boast has now collapsed.
An update on Thursday confirmed those details, and revealed that pharmaceuticals exported from the EU to the U.S. will see tariffs capped at 15%. That alleviated some concerns, as U.S. President Donald Trump had previously threatened to slap the sector with tariffs as high as 250%.
