The leader of the parliamentary faction of the French right-wing party National Rally, Marine Le Pen, called the trade deal between the European Union and the United States a political, economic and moral fiasco for the European Union.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and US President Donald Trump reached a trade deal on July 27, according to which almost all EU exports to the US would now be subject to tariffs of 15%. In addition, the European Union has committed to purchasing LNG, nuclear fuel and weapons from the United States. Le Pen explained that the European Union had concluded the agreement on unequal terms with the United States and on less favorable terms than the UK. She compared the deal to capitulation for French industry, as well as its energy and military sectors. In June, Trump announced a «full and comprehensive» trade agreement between the United States and Great Britain, which would cement the relationship between the two countries.
