The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, confirmed there would be US tariffs on goods from Europe of 15% across the board.

Washington had earlier threatened a tariff rate of 30%.

The agreement also includes promises of billions of dollars worth of investment and energy purchases from Brussels.
