Trump on the trade dispute – Agreement with the EU was "a real breakthrough"

US President Trump has called the rapprochement with the EU in the trade dispute a "real breakthrough".

The problem of the tariffs it would impose on steel and aluminum imports would be solved, as would the EU retaliatory tariffs. he is in concert in Illinois. It was important for him to build a fair and mutually beneficial trading system

Trump and the President of the European Commission, Mr. Juncker, had agreed yesterday in Washington to settle the dispute and impose no new special rate for the moment.

The former US ambbadador to Germany, Kornblum, said on Deutschlandfunk (audio link) that Trump understood that the trade wars were harmful. Europeans will now have to make concessions in the pursuit of negotiations – for example in the field of agriculture and the car industry.
