Germany, France criticise US-EU trade deal
The European Union's two largest economies, Germany and France, have criticised the trade deal struck between EU chief Ursula von der Leyen and United States President Donald Trump. The French prime minister said the agreement was tantamount to a "submission" to the US leader's tariff threat. The deal imposes a baseline 15 per cent duty across most European goods, halved from what was earlier threatened by Washington. William Denselow has more from Brussels.
