EU, U.S. officials made little progress on tariffs in talks, Bloomberg reports

Officials from the European Union and U.S. made little progress bridging trade differences this week and officials from President Donald Trump’s administration indicated that the bulk of the U.S. tariffs imposed on the bloc will not be removed, sources told Bloomberg’s Alberto Nardelli and Jorge Valero. EU trade chief Maros Sefcovic left the meeting with little clarity on the U.S. stance and is struggling to determine the American side’s aims after having met for about two hours with U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, people familiar with the discussions are reported to have said.
