Trump announced the talks on Twitter after negotiations in Brussels between the EU and US trade officers failed to overcome their differences on the US’s new tariffs on steel and aluminum products.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Europe should be ready for a response to the US’s unilateral decision on tariffs, but she hopes to negotiate the issue.
