US President Donald Trump supposedly "ate for breakfast" European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, forcing the signing of a trade deal between the United States and the European Union, Sky News reports.
"This is not an agreement ... Donald Trump ate Von der Leyen for breakfast," Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said.
Orbán also added that this is supposedly exactly what happened, and everyone suspected it would, since the US President is a "heavyweight" in negotiations, while the European Commission President is a "featherweight."
Trade deal between US and EU
On July 27, US President Donald Trump announced a new large-scale trade agreement with the European Union. According to him, the EU agreed to purchase American energy resources worth $750 billion.
Later, Ursula von der Leyen revealed details of the trade deal the European Union had reached with the United States. Among other things, zero tariffs will be introduced on a range of products. She also noted that the agreement will ensure the competitiveness of European businesses, while the US will gain access to a market of 450 million consumers.
