"Brussels is willing to negotiate a new agreement on tariffs with the U.S., European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has said. The statement comes after U.S. President Donald Trump slapped the bloc with a blanket 20% tariff that will take effect on Wednesday.
“We have offered zero-for-zero tariffs for industrial goods,” von der Leyen told a press conference on Monday. “Europe is always ready for a good deal, so we keep it on the table.”
The offer followed a meeting of EU trade ministers in Luxembourg. According to Reuters, it was decided that the bloc would prioritize negotiating with Washington rather than engaging in a trade war." RT
