On Monday, the Trump 47 White House’s Official Rapid Response account posted several clips from networks like CNN, CBS, and Fox News, highlighting praise for a new agreement from typically critical commentators.
This follows Trump’s recent announcement about the EU-U.S. trade agreement, which he described as the “biggest deal ever made.” The deal imposes a “15 percent tariff on most imports from the European Union” to the U.S., including automobiles. Additionally, the EU plans to purchase $750 billion worth of U.S. energy and invest $600 billion in the U.S. by 2028.

A second post took a clip of CNN’s Anna Cooban on the U.S.-EU trade deal:
“This is part of Trump’s real crusade to redress what he perceives to be imbalances on fairness towards America from U.S. trading partners. Trump is still very much pursuing his longer-term goal of achieving what he perceives to be fairness for America.”

A clip from SkyNews included Newsweek Senior Editor-at-large Josh Hammer saying the following about Trump, who he said “comes home bagging one of the greatest, most historic trade deals in the history of modern commerce.”
“I mean this is truly historic stuff … I mean this is just rapid fire, win after win after win,” he added, noting the other recent trade deals the president has done with Asian markets. “I have never experienced, frankly, this much winning from a president in my life.”

Over on Bloomberg, Terry Haines touted the landmark trade deal, calling it an undeniable win by Trump.
“It is a triumph of a lot of things,” Haines said. “Certainly, the president ought to take a victory lap … It’s a blow against the conventional wisdom.”

In one clip from CNBC, former Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez said the U.S.-EU trade deal “is a BIG WIN for the U.S.”
The clip that had us laughing was one of CNN’s Jeff Zeleny calling it “the biggest trade deal in President Trump’s effort to effectively reshape the global trading order … He’s been issuing many threats of tariffs, but they clearly have been working in terms of bringing other countries … to the negotiating table.”
You can even see him stumble on his words at one point, clearly speechless by what has occurred, when he admits Trump’s threats to raise tariffs “certainly worked.”

The last clip we will share comes from CBS News, when their reporter has to begrudgingly admit the following:
CBS News:
We’ve just heard the U.S. and the E.U. agree to a trade deal… do we have reason to celebrate just yet?
“If you are the American energy industry, definitely… We do know some agricultural areas will be able to sell into the E.U. more easily—so those are wins.” pic.twitter.com/McEUtJySZg
