A Bloomberg report from earlier, on European Union bumbling about on getting started with trade talks with the US
- 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
Bloomberg citing two officials familiar with the matter
- Failure to get France on board would mean the EU's executive arm won't be given a mandate to negotiate.
Trump and Juncker agreed to talk on trade back in July 2018.
Concern is continued delays on the EU side risks provoking an impatient Trump. Fair enough too … July 2018 …. anyone would be getting impatient.
