A new trade agreement between the United States and the European Union has triggered widespread criticism across Europe, with leaders like Hungary's Viktor Orbán claiming that President Trump 'ate' European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen 'for breakfast' during negotiations. The deal, which imposes a 15% import tariff on most EU goods, is widely seen as less favorable than the UK's separate arrangement with the US. Critics argue the agreement exposes weak EU leadership and could harm European economies, particularly Hungary, despite Orbán's close ties to Trump. The backlash highlights deep divisions within the EU over trade strategy and leadership. Calls for leadership change in Brussels are growing as frustration mounts over the perceived imbalance in the deal.
