The European Union’s trade agreement with the Trump administration is getting mixed reviews. EU officials say they warded off a total economic disaster. But French officials in particular say the EU punched below its weight while economists say the deal is dangerously vague.

US President Donald Trump may think the trade agreement he struck with the European Union on Sunday is the “biggest deal ever” – but some within the 27-nation bloc are calling it a capitulation.

French President Emmanuel Macron said the European Union wasn’t feared enough in the trade talks with the US, which led to a deal many have criticized as unbalanced.
