New EU-US trade agreement draws attention, may affect relations with China

Foreign media: The latest EU-US trade agreement shows that the EU is closer to Washington in terms of technology, security, and business, which may affect its relationship with China.

In the agreement, the EU agreed to impose a 15% tariff on 70% of its exports to the US, and consider exempting some climate regulations for US goods, while also reducing tariffs on US industrial products.

Although China was not mentioned in the 19-point joint statement, the EU has committed to purchasing $4 billion worth of US AI chips and adopting US security standards to "prevent technology from flowing to areas of concern," which usually refers to China.
