On Sunday, shortly after playing a round of golf at his luxury Turnberry resort in Scotland, US president Donald Trump agreed to a trade deal with the EU commission president.


It followed months of tension and shifting deadlines over a threatened 30 per cent tariff and all-out trade war, which would have been devastating for the Irish economy.


And while 15 per cent avoids the worst case scenario, business leaders here like IBEC chief executive Danny McCoy claim “Europe has capitulated” by accepting the deal.


Sow how exactly will these tariffs affect Irish businesses and what are the longer term implications?


Was Ms von der Leyen correct in agreeing to it or should the EU have followed French president Emmanuel Macron’s call to hit back hard against US trade threats with a more aggressive response?


Irish Times acting Europe Correspondent Jack Power and economics and finance writer Cliff Taylor join the podcast to discuss the fallout.


Presented by Sorcha Pollak. Produced by Declan Conlon, Aideen Finnegan and Andrew McNair.


Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
