> Europe signed free trade agreements and promised they would open their markets to the USA if the USA reciprocated.

I'm unaware of any free trade agreements with the US: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union_free_trade_agre...

The US only has free trade agreements with some American countries and South Korea/Australia outside: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_free-trade_agree...

But this is all irrelevant because free trade doesn't trump rights (privacy/due process/etc).
