After weeks of tense negotiations between their top trade officials, the EU and US have finally struck a deal - and it comes on the eve of America's latest round of tariff talks with China.
Ultimately it took leaders from Washington and Brussels to sit down face to face to reach Sunday's agreement.
That's something we've also seen with the other deals that President Donald Trump has struck - his personal involvement is what has pushed them over the line – even when the prospects of a breakthrough did not seem bright.
This matters to both sides because so many businesses and jobs depend on what the EU calls "the world's largest bilateral trade and investment relationship".
Both President Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen can paint this as something of a victory.
