Donald Trump has rated the chances of a trade deal with the European Union at 50-50 or even less, stressing that Brussels wants a deal. The European Commission believes a negotiated solution is possible, although it voted to impose tariffs against US goods. The EU diplomat said a deal is taking shape that could cut tariffs to 15%, but the White House cautioned that talks are still speculative. Information on possible EU concessions remains limited.
