Officials: EU-US trade talks face delay, risk Trump backlash – Bloomberg

Bloomberg quotes two officials familiar with the matter, citing that the European Union (EU) government is indecisive about getting started with trade talks with the US.

Key Quotes:

“European Union  governments are struggling to reach consensus on a mandate to begin trade talks with the U.S., risking a delay that would further provoke Donald Trump’s ire  

At a meeting of EU ambassadors in Brussels on Wednesday, France is expected to resist giving the European Commission the green light to start negotiations.

Failure to get France on board would mean the EU’s executive arm won’t be given the mandate to negotiate.”
