U.S. Touts EU Trade Deal, Says Others Can Also Make Progress

According to Reuters on Thursday, the United States will press ahead with European trade talks and also aim to strike a deal with Mexico and Canada in stalled negotiations over the North American Free Trade Agreement. Mnuchin was speaking a day after President Donald Trump and European Union chief Jean-Claude Juncker struck a surprise deal to halt further trade tariffs. The deal with the EU drove stock markets higher as it appeared to avert a further escalation of a tariff war.
