We are ready for an agreement, a European Commission spokesperson said today at a press conference on the occasion of last night's conversation between Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and US President Donald Trump. The spokesperson specified that the conversation was mainly about trade issues, BTA reported.
The conversation was at Von der Leyen's request, but there was a common desire to discuss these issues, the spokesperson explained. It is good that the talks are also being held at the highest level, it was a good conversation, he summarized.
According to him, the EC President and the US President have agreed to accelerate trade negotiations and maintain contact. The negotiations are complex and take time, the EU's proposal for zero tariffs is still in force, for us this is a very good starting point for the upcoming talks, the spokesperson said.
