Senator Pete Ricketts praised President Trump’s new trade deal with the European Union, calling it a major victory for American farmers and workers. This landmark agreement secures huge opportunities for U.S. energy producers and manufacturers while slapping new tariffs on fair-trade violators. Trump’s deal isn’t just talk – it’s action that delivers real results for hardworking Americans.
Europe promised to buy $750 billion worth of U.S. energy, a massive jump from just $80 billion annually before Trump’s tough negotiations. The EU also agreed to invest $600 billion in America by 2028, pumping cash into our economy and creating good-paying jobs. These numbers aren’t smoke and mirrors – they’re concrete wins secured through Trump’s relentless bargaining.
Farmers across the Midwest are cheering as the deal smashes unfair EU barriers to pork, dairy, and other agricultural products. U.S. farmers will now sell more beef to Europe without burdensome paperwork holding them back. This is a direct shot at unfair trade practices that kept American goods out of international markets for decades.
Steel and aluminum workers also got a win. Trump’s deal imposes strict quotas on EU steel imports, protecting American mills from being flooded with cheap foreign metal. Once those quotas are reached, a 50% tariff kicks in – ensuring Europe pays its fair share. This isn’t about protecting big corporations – it’s about keeping U.S. jobs safe from globalist trade schemes.
The pact also tackles digital trade, slamming doors on EU attempts to tax American tech and media. Trump’s team won zero tariffs on everything from cloud services to Hollywood movies, keeping America’s cutting-edge industries strong. Tech moguls trying to push their woke agendas can’t undermine this pro-worker deal.
Critics said Trump couldn’t get deals done, but this EU agreement proves them wrong. It avoids a trade war while setting new rules that favor America – not the other way around. Combined with Trump’s recent Japan deal, this shows how real leadership secures better terms for our citizens.
Under Trump’s “America First” trade policy, we’re no longer the suckers paying foreign governments to undercut our workers. EU nations will now invest here, buy our goods, and follow fair rules. That’s the opposite of Biden’s weak “back to the future” approach that loaded the deck against Americans.
Ricketts and other Trump allies see this as a blueprint for future deals with Canada, Mexico, and others. The message is clear: America fights for its workers, not global elites. Trump’s trade policy isn’t “free” trade – it’s fair trade where everyone plays by our rules. That’s the kind of leadership that keeps America number one.
