Productive Discussions Between EU and US Leaders

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen revealed on Friday that her recent phone conversation with United States President Donald Trump was notably positive. Emphasizing the importance of concrete outcomes, von der Leyen stated, "For me, it is important that if I go to the White House, I want to have a package we can discuss. So it has to be concrete and I want to have a solution that we both can agree on."

Trade Relations at the Forefront

During a press conference, the focus was squarely on the evolving trade relations between the European Union and the US. Von der Leyen's comments underscored a dual approach: striving for a mutually beneficial trade deal while remaining prepared to take action should negotiations falter.

She reiterated the EU's commitment to reaching an agreement with Washington but also highlighted the bloc's readiness to respond if talks do not progress as hoped.
