Trade deal with the EU: Everyone falls for Trump's bluff

Brazenness wins: The US President has sold Commission President von der Leyen a deal with the so-called trade agreement that does not deserve the name.

Donald Trump has done it. Over the weekend, half the world watched him play golf. The US president, elected to represent the interests of 340 million Americans, took a whole long weekend to travel to Scotland and do PR for his golf clubs there. Only one American benefited from this: Donald Trump, the businessman, not the US president. But he got away with it.
