00:07many leaders have expressed skepticism about its terms.

00:17Others, including Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez,

00:20expressed support to the European Commission for reaching a deal

00:23while expressing reservations about its content.

00:26The deal is preliminary and needs to be further fleshed out,

00:46but would introduce a 15% tariff for the vast majority of EU products.

00:50The tariff for US exports bound for the EU market was not immediately clear.

00:56It will still be necessary to work on the agreement,

00:59because what was written yesterday is an agreement not directly related to the maximum,

01:04so in the details of some of the things we need to go, so there is still to fight.

01:09European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the 15% tariffs were across the board and all-inclusive.

01:20a statement echoed by Germany's Minister for Economic Affairs.
