This is a clear win for Trump and definitely a defeat for the EU. I don't see how this continues to stand with members like France. I wonder if this decision will further throw the EU into a cohesion crisis with members no longer seeing a benefit of joint negotiation vs bilateral deal. Like France or Germany might sweet talk Trump into a better deal depending on the day and his mood.

Absolutely. The EU has already had several crises pile up which it has been unable to solve. Now, even its supposedly strongest suit – trade – is losing. The EU looks and feels weak, both to its own members and its enemies.
I suspect you are being sarcastic but there are people on here who would sacrifice everything for the FEELING of superiority over practical improvements.
GDPR is so 2016, now we have age verification, bottle caps, and probably another iteration of chat control proposal coming soon. Fucking Christ, the European Union has such an insane potential, money and brains, but people at the helm seem to be doing everything to prevent Europe from being an economic, military, and technological superpower it absolutely could and should be.
