Comments by EU trade commissioner, Cecilia Malmstrom
- Should renew global order with WTO reform
- US needs to stop blocking the appointment of arbitrators
- US needs to find the space between 'pulling the punches and pulling the plug'
- Says many in Europe are offended that US would consider EU to be a security threat
The final point pertains to the fact that the US is still threatening to impose auto tariffs on the EU in the coming months. Both sides aren't really making any progress on trade talks so the imposition of tariffs are very much still seen as likely at this point.
