Public Sentiment Summary

The public sentiment regarding the US-EU trade deal is overwhelmingly negative, with widespread feelings of betrayal, humiliation, and dissatisfaction directed primarily at European leadership, particularly Ursula von der Leyen. Many commenters perceive the deal as a one-sided capitulation to US demands, highlighting significant economic disadvantages for the EU, including a 15% tariff on European goods versus zero tariffs on American imports. There's a strong call among citizens for boycotts of US products and a reevaluation of US-EU relations due to fears of diminished European autonomy and stability.

Von der Leyen should RESIGN! I say that as EU citizen! The deal is an abomination!

This deal should send us on the streets, but sadly most people won't care enough ...

How can 15% against 0% be a relief?

Isn't it telling how the EU chief starts speaking like him? "It's a huge deal".....embarrassing.

Extortion. Just like a mob boss.
