A delegation of senior experts from the European Commission led by trade department chief Sabine Weyand is in Washington today and tomorrow to meet US counterparts, the EU executive confirmed on Tuesday.
The aim is to progress negotiations after the US launched a tariff volley against the EU mid-March: imposing a 25% levy on imports of steel, aluminium and cars and a 10% blanket tariff on all EU imports. A 20% blanket tariff on goods was suspended for 90 days pending negotiations.
