EU trade chief says US talks ‘advancing in the right direction’

The EU’s trade chief said Wednesday that talks with the United States were “advancing in the right direction at pace” — with one month to go until 50-percent US tariffs on European goods take effect.

The European Union’s trade commissioner, Maros Sefcovic, wrote on the X platform that he “had a productive and constructive discussion” with US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer in Paris.
