By agreeing to the 15% plus purchases (and backing off on planned services regulation?), it is much more likely that this is a durable outcome.
Worse, the EU has effectively legitimised the actions of a US administration riding roughshod over the global trade regime.

Europeans are understandably focusing on the impact of Trump, Musk and Vance's chaotic impulses on Ukraine, NATO and the EU.
But a bigger moment of crisis related to the position of US government credibility in financial markets is looming.
