EU Trade Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis reported positive progress in discussions with Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao on Thursday. The talks come as China aims to negotiate an agreement with the European Union to prevent the imposition of high tariffs on electric vehicles (EVs) exported to EU countries.
The meeting took place amid increasing divisions within Europe over proposed tariffs, with Spain calling on the EU last week to "rethink" plans for duties of up to 36 percent on Chinese electric vehicles, aligning with Germany in its opposition.
