EDINBURGH, Scotland (AP) — The United States and the European Union agreed on Sunday to a trade framework setting a 15% tariff on most goods, staving off — at least for now — far higher import duties on both sides that might have sent shock waves through economies around the globe.

The US and the EU will have zero tariffs on aircraft and their components, some chemicals, some generic drugs, some semiconductors, some agricultural products and essential raw materials. Alcoholic beverages are not included in the agreement. The 50% tariffs on steel and aluminum remain.
