The energy deal is a centerpiece of the trade agreement reached between Washington and Brussels on Sunday, which puts baseline U.S. tariffs at 15% for most European goods. The EU has agreed to buy $250 billion worth of U.S. oil, gas and nuclear fuels per year for three years, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said.

The Europe trade deal will see the U.S. impose a 15% import tariff on most EU goods − half the threatened rate but much more than Europeans hoped for.
