The United States and the European Union agreed on a framework trade deal to end months of uncertainty for industries and consumers.

The pact would set duties of 15 percent on imports of items such as wine and automobiles, or about half the 30 percent the president had recently threatened.

The United States has reached a trade deal with the Philippines, President Donald Trump has announced, charging the country a 19 percent tariff rate on goods it exports to the US, while US goods will pay zero tariffs.
