TURNBERRY, Scotland, July 27 (Reuters) - The U.S. struck a framework trade agreement with the European Union on Sunday, imposing a 15% import tariff on most EU goods - half the threatened rate - and averting a bigger trade war between the two allies that account for almost a third of global trade.

President Donald Trump and EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced a trade deal framework setting a 15% baseline tariff on most EU goods, down from Trump's planned 20% tariff.
