'Devil in detail', EU warns on US-China trade deal
By EUobserver
The EU's trade commissioner Phil Hogan said Thursday that the bloc would check to see if a major trade deal struck by the US and China is compliant with global rules. "The devil is in the detail," he said in Washington where he is meeting US officials. "We will have to assess whether it is WTO-compliant," he said after the US and China scaled back their 18-month trade row.
