WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The European Union and the United States must find mutually beneficial solutions to help resolve trade disputes, said European Council President Charles Michel on Thursday.
Michel added he was confident that U.S. President Joe Biden would ‘do everything’ to ensure there was continued support for Ukraine in its fight against Russia.
Top EU officials have headed to Washington in the hope of sealing agreements with the United States to end Trump-era tariffs and ease the impact of U.S. green subsidies, though talks appear set to go down to the wire.
U.S. President Biden will host European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President Charles Michel on Friday to show unity towards Ukraine, but with trade irritants souring ties.
