Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, and welcome to the Tangle podcast, a place we get views from across the political spectrum, some independent thinking, and a little bit of my take. I'm your host, Isaac Stahl. And on today's episode, we are going to be talking about the United States European Union trade deal. A very big deal. Big deal for Trump, big deal for world trade, big deal for eu US Relations. We're going to break down what exactly happened? Share some views from the left and the right and from abroad. And then my take before we jump in though, I want to give you a quick heads up that in response to yesterday's reader question on the Social Security Fairness Act, SS fa, we wrote that, quote, beneficiaries who did not have portions of their salaries pay into the Social Security trust fund would now be exempted from a provision that garnished their Social Security benefit. That wording created some confusion by not clarifying that these beneficiaries had paid into the funds through other jobs that they worked. Only those who have contributed to Social Security can receive benefits for themselves or their surviving family. A few readers wrote in asking us to kind of clarify that. So we figured we would clarify that here at the top of the podcast and the newsletter, just letting you know. All right. With that, I'm going to send it over to John for today's main topic and I'll be back for my take.

Thanks, Isaac, and welcome everybody. Here are your quick hits for today. First up, a gunman opened fire at an office building in midtown Manhattan, killing at least four people and critically injuring another. The shooter died of a self inflicted gunshot. Separately, a gunman killed three people and critically injured two others in a shooting outside a casino in Reno, Nevada. Police officers shot the gunman, who is currently hospitalized. Number two, President Donald Trump said he would shorten the 50 day deadline he set two weeks ago for Russia to reach a deal to end the war in Ukraine, remarking that Russian President Vladimir Putin has 10 to 12 days before the US imposes a series of sanctions and tariffs. Number three, a federal judge granted Planned Parenthood's request for a nationwide preliminary injunction over a Trump administration policy that ends federal Medicaid reimbursements for Planned parenthood clinics. Number four, former North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper entered the state's 2026 Senate race, announcing his candidacy to replace Outgo Senator Thom tillis. And number five, over 168 million Americans are under heat advisories on Tuesday, with extreme heat continuing across the Midwest, the Southeast and parts of the Northeast.

We begin in Scotland, where President Trump and the European Union announced a major trade deal between their two massive economies. The framework for this preliminary deal includes a 15% general tariff on most EU goods entering the US a 50% tariff on steel and aluminum would remain in place. In addition, Mr. Trump said the EU has agreed to buy some $750 billion in US energy and invest hundreds of billions of dollars more. A much higher general tariff, 30%, was due to go into effect later this week.

Unknown Speaker 2
On Sunday, President Donald Trump announced that the United States and the EU had reached a trade deal. Following a meeting between Trump and the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. The U.S. and the EU agreed to a 15% tariff on most European goods imported to the U.S. as well as a commitment from EU members to buy $750 billion worth of U.S. energy and increase investments in the U.S. by $600 billion, including through the purchase of military equipment. The deal comes just days before the August 1 deadline Trump set for countries to negotiate a trade deal with the US or face increased tariffs. For context, the EU and the US have the largest bilateral trade and investment relationship in the world, exchanging an estimated $975.9 billion worth of goods in 2024. The sides have been in talks over a trade deal since President Trump's April 2nd Liberation Day tariff announcement, which included 20% tariffs on EU products. Trump initially paused implementing the duties until July 9th, then extended the deadline again to August 1st. On July 12th, Trump threatened a 30% tariff rate on EU imports if the two sides could not come to an agreement. Europe is not imposing a tariff on US made goods in return, but the 15% rate is significantly lower than the 30% rate President Trump had threatened to impose by August 1, though higher than the 10% blanket rate currently applied to most US imports. The US and the EU also agreed to exempt some trade materials from import duties, including aircraft components, semiconductor fabrication materials, and some chemicals and pharmaceuticals. The sides said they would create a quota system for EU steel and aluminum exports, with the terms of that system still to be negotiated in the intermediate term. The 50% tariffs on these products is expected to remain in place. Both President Trump and President von der Leyen promoted the deal after their meeting. Trump called it the biggest of all the deals, and von der Leyen said the agreement was a good deal, a huge deal that came from tough negotiations. After the trade deal's announcement, European leaders expressed mixed feelings about its terms. Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schouf said, of course, no tariffs would have been better, but this agreement provides more clarity for our businesses and brings more market stability. French officials, including Prime Minister Francois Barrou and Trade Minister Laurent St. Martin, sharply criticized the EU for not retaliating with tariffs of its own. The deal still requires approval from EU member states and scrutiny from the European Parliament, which is expected to take several weeks. Separately, on Thursday, a US Appeals court will hear arguments in a case challenging the Trump administration's use of the International Emergency Economic Powers act to impose tariffs. The outcome could determine whether these duties and the trade deals they prompted will remain in place. Today we'll take a look at what the right, left, and European writers are saying about the deal and then Isaac's take.

Unknown Speaker 2
It's on Prime. All right. First up, let's start with what the right is saying. The right praises Trump for the recent slew of deals, suggesting they are unequivocally good for the United States. Many say Trump has proven the experts wrong again. The New York Post editorial board said the deal proves Trump's a great deal maker. Make no mistake, these were no easy negotiations. Trump reached terms with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen after talks in Scotland she described as very difficult. On Friday, Trump put the chances of agreement at 50 50, the board wrote. But von der Leyen praised the president as a tough dealmaker. Trump said he thought both sides wanted to make a deal and that it would bring us very close together. Hmm. Just a few months ago, his critics blasted his tariff program, predicting practically every disaster but the full collapse of the worldwide economy. Trump has now secured key trade deals with Japan, the United Kingdom, Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines, China at least partially, and now the eu. That's going to bring much stability to the markets and relief for businesses trying to plan ahead, the board said. Sure, there's more work to be done. Trump's Liberation Day tariffs kick in Friday for nations that lack a deal, but his accomplishment in rebalancing international trade to America's benefit are already enormously impressive. In hot air, David Strom argued Trump's tariff strategy is working. Almost every economist got it wrong, not because the underlying theory that trade barriers are dangerous, but because they failed to see the bigger picture. As is so often the case, expertise is a two edged sword. You may know your subject well while simultaneously missing the outside variables that shape the ultimate outcome, strahm wrote. Since the end of the Cold War, momentum and a level of indifference have prevailed in Washington, which was accustomed to subsidizing Europe and allowing the continent to run roughshod over our interests. Trump decided enough was enough and bullied everyone into deals that are asymmetrically good for America. Instead of our allies, Trump is cutting deals where our trading partners pay to access US markets while the US gets free access to theirs. After all the threats of crushing tariffs and counterthreats of retaliation, it turns out that access to US markets is so valuable that everyone is willing to pay a substantial tax to get in the door, Strom said. For all the brave talk, our trading partners realized that their economies would be devastated if the US made accessing our markets more difficult. European countries, if forced to choose between being in Europe and being in the US would choose the latter. Alright, that is it for what the right is saying, which brings us to what the left is saying. The left is mixed on the impact of the deal. Though many acknowledge the short term benefits for the us, Some say Trump's tactics hurt our alliances but are relieved that a trade war seems averted. In Bloomberg, Lionel Laurent wrote Europeans, not Trump, ended up chickening out. The US is the EU's biggest trade partner and a dominant defence and technology supplier. A spiral of tit for tat tariffs is something Europeans simply cannot afford. Leron said. Sealing the deal before the August 1 deadline at a level big companies say they find manageable is market positive, lifting the tariff fog and avoiding a worst case scenario drag on Eurozone gross domestic product of 1.2% according to Barclays Plc. From German autos to French aerospace, transatlantic trade is looking a little less stuck. Yes, it is hard to fully reconcile the we dodged a bullet rhetoric with the reality that European's 27 countries single market faces a real hit. The combination of a 15% tariff rate and the euro's 13% rise against the US dollar year to date represents a competitiveness double whammy with little in return, leroin wrote. Of course, tariffs cut both ways. The US Consumer will, all things being equal, suffer as protectionist levies are passed on and the global economy suffers a $2 trillion hit that saps investment. A lot now depends on the strategies of multinationals and industries. Some will choose to absorb the tariff impact themselves. Others will try to keep negotiating with the promise of new factories to come in CNN David Goldman suggested Trump's EU deal averts disaster, but few are cheering. The details remain murky. Europe will increase its investment in the United States by $600 billion and commit to buying $750 billion worth of U.S. energy products. It eliminates tariffs on a variety of items, including aircraft and airplane parts, semiconductors, generic drugs and some chemicals and agricultural products, Goldman said. But the 15% baseline tariff applies to most goods, so the EU member states and American importers will have to come to terms with the fact that higher tariffs will raise prices for European goods in America. The agreement also deals another blow to Detroit automakers, which objected to a similar deal the Trump administration reached with Japan. The 15% auto tariff on EU cars imported to the United States undercuts the 25% tariff American automakers pay if their cars are built in Mexico, Goldman said. Still, in the eyes of the hard working negotiators and for the sake of the global economy, a deal is better than no deal. Alright, that is it for what writers from the right and the left are saying. Which brings us to what writers in Europe are saying. Many European writers say the deal is a clear loss for the eu, but note their disadvantage in negotiations. Others argue the deal could have long term consequences for the entire bloc. Le Mans editorial board called the deal a bittersweet compromise for the eu. The outcome of the talks, with its ambiguities, leaves a bitter aftertaste. Given the size of the market, 450 million consumers and its status as the U.S. s second largest supplier of goods, Europe seemed at first to have stronger leverage than Japan in seeking a lower rate than 15%, the board said. The uneven compromise advocated by the commission underscored how difficult it was for the 27 member states to assert themselves against a former ally who not only seeks to impose its own rules on the rest of the world, but is pursuing a political agenda to weaken the eu. Deeply involved in transatlantic trade, Germany and even more so Italy, were not ready for confrontation. The need to secure US Support in Ukraine and America's contribution to European defense also weighed heavily in the decision the board wrote. Presented as the lesser evil, the 15% tariff followed previous increases imposed by Trump on steel and aluminum as well as on automobiles and auto parts. These measures are bound to affect the competitiveness of the companies involved and drive prices higher. In exchange, von der Leyen and the business world are clinging to the hope of stabilizing the economic environment. In reality, they have no such guarantee. In Unherd, Thomas Fazzi said the deal is a capitulation to America. The 15% tariff on EU goods entering the US is significantly higher than the 10% that Brussels had hoped to negotiate. Meanwhile, as Trump himself boasted, the EU has opened its countries at zero tariff to American exports. Crucially, EU steel and aluminum will continue to face a crushing 50% tariff when sold into the US market, Fazi wrote. This asymmetry places European producers at a severe disadvantage, raising costs for strategic industries such as automotive, pharmaceuticals and advanced manufacturing sectors that underpin the EU's $1.97 trillion transatlantic trade relationship. Trump is not entirely wrong when he accuses the EU of engaging in unfair trade practices. Over the past two decades, Brussels has embraced a hyper mercantilist export driven growth model which systematically suppresses domestic demand in order to bolster price competitiveness on the global stage in keeping imports low, Fazi said. A rebalancing was indeed long overdue, but this agreement represents the worst possible kind of rebalancing. Instead of using the moment as an opportunity to rethink its fundamentally flawed economic strategy by raising European wages, boosting internal demand and accepting that exports might become less competitive as a result of the EU has doubled down on the very model that hollowed out its own economic resilience. Alright, let's head over to Isaac for his take.
- [19:06]
Isaac Saul
Alright, that is it for the left and the right are saying. Which brings us to my take. You can look at this deal from several different angles. For champions of Trump's trade agenda, this is a pretty big win. After months of talk about Trump's tariff disorganization, including in this podcast, Trump has now secured trade deals with Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Japan, the United Kingdom and the European Union. This deal is with our biggest trading partner and was obviously the crown jewel and Trump seems to have gotten a lot of what he wanted out of it. He's keeping tariffs on most European imports at 15% higher than the baseline 10%. That's still in effect, while also getting a commitment for some major investments from the European Union into the US and he's doing it all without suffering any meaningful immediate repercussions that I can discern. If you subscribe to Trump's zero sum trade philosophy, what exactly did the European Union win? If you believe that tariffs are a good way to raise revenue and reshore jobs and won't meaningfully jack up prices, what exactly did the United States lose? Tyler Cohen, an economist who has been critical of Trump's trade agenda, put it like this. Quote, you can hate what Trump did, but for a quote, unquote stupid administration, they, by their own standards at least, did a remarkably good job of it. I really don't want to understate this point. This deal may be the administration's biggest win on trade so far, especially since it looked completely dead in the water just a few weeks ago. Trump continues to teach US Politicians that tough love with our allies is an effective avenue to get what you want. Getting the EU to materially pay, not just for access to the US Market, but for the protection the US Offers Europe militarily is a total vindication of how Trump saw that relationship as out of balance. This is potential downsides, which I'll get to. But in striking this deal, Trump got a lot of what he said he wanted out of Europe. Now, for the many people on both sides who do not subscribe to the Trump administration's economic vision, this is a hard development to celebrate. If you fall into that camp, it may feel like having someone tell you they can grab an electric fence, insisting to them that they can't, and then watching them actually do it. Personally, I've been critical of Trump's tariff agenda for a few reasons. One, I believed and still believe that tariffs are going to end up raising prices on Americans. Two, the rollout was shoddy and disorganized and caused a great deal of market turmoil. And three, I was skeptical that Trump would land the major trade deals he said he would land. Concerns, number two and number three are basically off the table now. The market has recovered, the US Trade policy is stabilizing, and the deals are starting to come in. Concern number one is still in play. Domestic prices are just starting to show signs of the impact of tariffs, and the US Consumers are still upset about prices even as inflation eases. Even if the US Won this deal, it's still going to be disruptive for businesses on both sides of the Atlantic who depend on stable costs of goods or materials they are importing. And remember, most countries have not reached a trade deal with the US and the Liberation Day tariffs are supposed to kick in on August 1 for any country without a deal. What's more, the appeals court or the Supreme Court may still rule that the president's tariff orders are not enforceable, making the situation even more unstable. This deal also brings about a fresh set of concerns and questions, starting with the concerns. It's a little intangible, but there are going to be some hard feelings about how all this played out across Europe, and that could complicate diplomatic relationships, tourism and more. In particular, I'm skeptical that Europe's concessions will make the US A more steadfast partner in Ukraine, as some clearly believe every relationship that involves counterparts working together will have some strain. And when we come to the table on major global issues now, it will likely be against the backdrop of frustration and distrust. As for the questions, let's start with what exactly the deal is committing Europe to in terms of investments. Each side is describing aluminum, steel and other metal tariffs differently. The White House said they'd be tariffed at 50%, while President von der Leyen said metal imports would be cut and quota systems would be put into place. Also, what exactly is exempted from the tariffs? According to von der Leyen, they include aircraft and component parts, certain chemicals, certain generic semiconductor equipment, certain agricultural products, natural resources and critical raw materials. And we will keep working to add more products to this list, she said. That sounds pretty vague to me on the financial commitments. It's worth waiting to see what they follow through on and thinking critically about how meaningful they are. Those commitments are not contractually binding. And how much do any of them differ from what would have happened anyway?
- [23:46]
Unknown Speaker 1
How?
- [23:46]
Isaac Saul
The position the Wall Street Journal editorial board took was that the difference was negligible. Europe's direct investments in the US increased $200 billion from 2023 to 2024. So how big of a deal is a $600 billion investment over an indeterminate period? I'm personally skeptical that tariffs can drive revenues in the long term without hurting the US Economy, shrinking our industry and ultimately raising prices for us, the consumers. Even if US Businesses are, for now, eating the cost themselves, I have no idea how long that will last, but I certainly give Trump credit where it's due. He got a deal that looks a lot like the one he wanted, and in the framework he is operating in where Europe is ripping us off. It is a good thing that he's happy and the EU negotiators aren't. His critics at the least. Have to eat some crow on the tactics and many of my initial fears about the disorganized rollout of tariffs are receding. That said, for this deal to be as big or meaningful as Trump claims, revenues will have to continue to rise, inflation continue to ease, and Europe to actually follow through on its commitments. Until then, we're mostly analyzing verbal agreements and waiting for some tangible written details. We'll be right back after this quick break.

Isaac Saul
All right, that is it for my take. Which brings us to your questions answered. This one's from James in Wayzata, Minnesota. That is an awesome name for a town. I hope I said it right. I've noticed a story story that there were more than 50 immigration judges fired so far this year. With retirements, we are now down to 108 judges, James said. I also remember that more immigration judges has been one of Isaac's key tenants to improving immigration. Is this turnover unusual? What's going on? So earlier this month, the International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers, which in addition to other groups of professionals represents federal judges, claimed that the Trump administration had fired 17 immigration court judges without cause. Those firings added to a surge in immigration judges leaving their positions since January. In February, the administration fired 20 judges on probationary status or who had not yet been sworn in. In April, eight other judges were placed on leave and told their positions would be terminated when totaling those fired with the judges who took the government's deferred resignation or early retirement offer. The judges Union says that 103 judges have left their positions since the beginning of Trump's second administration out of the roughly 700 existing federal immigration judgeships. This is a decrease of about 15% in the past six months. So yes, it's an unusual amount of turnover, especially considering that Trump greatly increased the number of immigration judges in his first term. Yes, I have repeatedly said that adding more immigration judges will help process the backlog and bring order to our immigration system. And Republicans seem to agree when they appropriated $3.3 billion for immigration courts to hire new judges. And the bill caps the number of immigration judgeships at 800, which is likely too low to address the current immigration backlog. But it at least allows for 100 new immigration judges to be hired in addition to the new vacancies. What's going on? In one sense, it's easy to say. This administration is currently battling federal courts and judges in an effort to execute its policies through executive action, and it is trying to downsize the payroll of the federal government and then probably replace those judges with the people they want in those positions. In another way, it's just maddening because removing veteran judges is going to make it harder to fill the roster that Congress just enlarged. So it may delay the thing I was excited about. So that's the basic picture of what we know. But you know, we get more clarity every day and this is a good story to keep an eye on. So great question. Thanks for writing in. All right, I'm going to send it over to John for the rest of the pod and I'll see you guys tomorrow. Have a good one.

Unknown Speaker 2
Thanks, Isaac. Here's your under the radar story for today, folks. On Tuesday, the European Union said it would withhold $1.7 billion in Ukrainian aid, roughly a third of a non military aid package whose disbursement is dependent on good governance standards. The decision follows President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's support of a law to curtail the independence of two anti corruption agencies which had been investigating high level officials in the government. The law prompted large protests and Zelensky has since submitted a new bill that restores the agency's independence. But the EU's aid cut remains in place. The EU can still reverse the pause if Ukraine completes additional reforms. The New York Times has this story and there's a link in today's episode. Description all right, next up is our numbers section. It's been 116 days since President Donald Trump's announcement of liberation Day tariffs and the trade agreement reached by the US And European Union. Six trade agreements have been reached between the Trump administration and trading partners. The United States estimated total goods trade with the EU in 2024 was $975.9 billion. The United States estimated trade deficit with the EU in 2024 was $235.6 billion, a 12 point 2023 the value of EU pharmaceutical products the US imported in 2024 was $127 billion, the single largest product category for EU imports. The percentage of US gross domestic product attributable to goods and services traded with the EU in 2024 is 4.9%, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, and the percentage of US Gross domestic product attributable to trading goods and services with China in 2024 is 2.2%. And last but not least, our have a nice day story. Orcas, known as killer whales, have earned their deadly reputation by hunting sharks and attacking boats. However, researchers in Canada, New Zealand and Mexico have found that the apex predator has a friendlier side. Over two decades of observations from oceans across the world, the researchers found 34 instances of orcas offering food to humans. Orcas often share food with each other. It's a pro social activity. Study lead author Jared Towers of Basitology in British Columbia, Canada, said that they also share with humans may show their interest in relating to us as well. The American Psychological association has this story and there's a link in today's episode description. All right everybody, that is it for today's episode.
