Minister: No Franco-German disagreement on US tariffs
By EUobserver
French finance minister Bruno Le Maire said the EU could not consider negotiating a free trade agreement with the US without Washington first withdrawing its tariffs on steel. He insisted that there is no disagreement between Germany and France on how to handle the US tariffs a few days before EU Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker visits Washington. "World trade cannot base itself on the law of the jungle," he said.
