According to online reports, according to the British Financial Times, the United States and the European Union have launched trade negotiations to avoid the worst impact of Trump's tariff policy, a move that broke the previous deadlock where the European Union was near the bottom of the negotiating queue. According to an EU briefing obtained by four people familiar with the matter and the Financial Times, the two sides recently exchanged negotiation documents for the first time, covering areas such as tariffs, digital trade and investment opportunities. Sabine Wynd, chief trade officer of the European Commission, told ambassadors of member states that the EU still needs to respond calmly and should not succumb to the US desire for "quick war and quick victory." The briefing pointed out that she warned that some U.S. tariffs may persist, especially on industries such as steel and automobiles that the U.S. hopes to return home. Trump previously accused the EU of "exploiting the United States." The current progress of negotiations between the EU and the United States still lags behind that of Japan, South Korea, Britain and Vietnam.
