Bessent Says Sweden Supports EU-US Trade Deal Trump Praises

U.S. Treasury Secretary Taylor Bessent said he has spoken with Sweden’s prime minister, who voiced support for the recently concluded EU–U.S. trade agreement. Bessent told reporters the accord looks like the “deal of the century” on paper and that former President Donald Trump considers it a good agreement. Earlier in the day, Commerce Secretary Mark Lutnick described the transaction as a “masterclass” by Trump, underscoring the administration’s confidence in the pact. Details of the deal have not been publicly released, but Washington is now seeking to build backing among European leaders ahead of formal ratification.
