The EU expects trade relations with the US to remain difficult, even once a principle agreement is reached to resolve the tariff dispute between the two transatlantic partners, according to EU diplomats.
“We are working non-stop to find an initial agreement with the US – to keep tariffs as low as possible, and to provide the stability that businesses need,” Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Thursday, adding: “But we are also not naïve. We know the relationship with the US may not return to what it once was.”
