The United States and the European Union have started serious trade talks to head to the worst in Donald Trump’s tariff, and they broke a musk leaving the mass near the back of the waiting list to negotiate with the Donald Trump team.

In the last days, the two sides exchanged negotiation documents for the first time, as the discussion areas that range from customs tariffs to digital trade opportunities and investment opportunities, according to four people, have identified this issue and a brief observation in the European Union that FT saw.

The note said that Sabine and Wand, member of the European Commission’s Trade Commission, told the ambassadors of member states that the bloc still has to act calmly and does not give in the United States’ desire for “quick victories”. She warned that some American tariffs would remain, especially in the sectors that the United States wanted to restore the beach, such as manufacturing steel and cars.

The 27 -member European Union, which Trump accused of “tearing the United States”, was unable to make great progress with US officials such as countries such as Japan, South Korea, Vietnam and the United Kingdom.

Jamieson Greer, Trump’s commercial representative, helped forced the pace when he particularly warned European diplomats that US officials were increasingly frustrated with the bloc refusing to make any written proposals, according to two people familiar with the discussions.

Without a preliminary transfer from Brussels, he said that the European Union should expect Trump to re -apply its tariff on April 2. The European Union tariff of 20 percent “mutual” decreased to half until July 8 to allow negotiations.

Trump maintained 25 percent of the additional fees on steel, aluminum, cars and threats more than in pharmacists, semiconductors, copper, wood, critical minerals, and space parts.

MAROš šefčovič, the European Union Trade Commissioner, spoke to Jarir on Thursday and said he hoped to meet him next month at a ministerial meeting in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development in Paris.

He told šefčovič ft that he wanted to reduce the trade deficit of the United States by purchasing more gas, weapons and agricultural products. However, the United States has repeatedly raised concerns about VAT in Europe, digital service regulations, food standards and definitions on some American goods.

Daniel Mullani, who was formerly the United States Trade negotiator in the European Union, said the United States is likely to focus on pharmaceutical regulations and to open Europe to American agricultural products in the upcoming talks.

The European Union trade ministers explained that the recent United States agreement, which left 10 percent of the customs tariff in its place, was not a block for the mass.

“We will not be happy with this type of deal,” said Benjamin Dosa, the Swedish Minister of Trade. One of the European Union officials said: “10 percent is not a deal.”

The European Union has temporarily suspended 21 billion euros in retaliatory definitions due to the talks, but the committee last week proposed another package of 95 billion euros, including a Boeing, cars and Bourbon Whisky.

Šefčovič also said that the European Union will not accept our demands to cancel the value -added tax or weaken digital regulations and taxes.

However, the bloc is open to reduce its dependence on China for raw materials and critical medicines, and the definitions of the supported Chinese exports.

Wand, who visited Washington in early May, said that the UK deal showed that the United States wanted to use agreements to control supply chains and pressure Chinese products, according to the European Union document.
