In an interview with FRANCE 24, US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer insisted that despite fresh US tariffs proposed this Wednesday, "both sides are committed to compliance" with the US-EU trade deal. The top US trade official said he saw "a lot of room" for continued compliance, notwithstanding Washington's new tariff proposals on imports of goods produced using forced labour.
Greer also said that Canada's retaliation against US trade policies made formal negotiations "difficult".
He added that America's trade deficit with China has dropped 30 percent since the new US trade policy kicked in under President Donald Trump.
