(Reuters file photo)BRUSSELS: Top officials from the US and EU meet in Brussels on Monday in an effort to iron out differences on trade talks announced to great fanfare this summer. "Trump and Juncker have an agreement, but in reality, we didn't completely agree on the scope of the discussions," she added. Trump also worryingly compared the EU to China, which on Friday received a threat of tariffs on all goods exported to the United States. Since July the EU commission has announced a series of commitments to the US, but observers point out that these are largely done deals. EU officials however say the explosion in demand is purely a market phenomenon and a knock-on effect of Trump's trade war with China.
