The agreement has dealt a \u201cvery hard blow\u201d to a number of business sectors in the bloc, the Russian foreign minister has said<\/strong><\/p>\n

The new US-EU trade agreement threatens to accelerate \u201cdeindustrialization\u201d<\/em> in Europe by redirecting investment to the US and increasing the bloc\u2019s dependency on American energy exports, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and US President Donald Trump finalized<\/a> a controversial deal that allowed the EU and US to avert a full-scale trade war.<\/p>\n

Under the deal, the US has reduced its proposed 30% tariffs to a flat 15% on most European exports. The EU has committed to purchasing $750 billion worth of US energy, primarily liquefied natural gas and nuclear fuel, and agreed to invest around $600 billion into US industries. The bloc has also undertaken to increase imports of US-made weapons.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the \u2018Territory of Meanings\u2019 forum on Monday, Lavrov described the arrangement as \u201cclearly leading to further deindustrialization of Europe and capital flight.\u201d<\/em> He added that rising energy prices and investment outflows will strike a \u201cvery hard blow\u201d<\/em> to European industrial and agricultural sectors.<\/p>\n

According to Lavrov, von der Leyen was apparently \u201cboasting\u201d<\/em> about the EU\u2019s willingness to carry additional costs. \u201cPeople like Ursula von der Leyen literally take pride in this path: yes, we will be forced to spend more money, yes, we will probably have fewer resources to address social problems, but we are obliged to defeat Russia.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n

He stressed that the trade deal is \u201cobviously damaging for the Old Continent \u2013 it doesn\u2019t even need to be analyzed.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lavrov\u2019s stance was echoed by several EU politicians and the business community. Marine Le Pen, a key figure in France\u2019s right-wing National Rally party, denounced the agreement as a \u201cpolitical, economic, and moral fiasco\u201d<\/em> detrimental to the EU\u2019s sovereignty. French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou concurred, calling it a \u201cdark day\u201d<\/em> for the EU.<\/p>\n

German business leaders also voiced alarm. Wolfgang Niedermark, a member of the executive board of the Federation of German Industries (BDI), said the EU had sent a \u201cfatal signal\u201d<\/em> by accepting high tariffs. \u201cEven a tariff rate of 15% will have immense negative effects on the export-oriented German industry,\u201d<\/em> he warned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
