EU and US Make Progress in Paris Talks
Reading
Talks happened in Paris about trade between the US and Europe. People said they made progress, but nothing changed a lot. This is because of taxes that cause problems for the world. Maroš Šefčovič from Europe and Jamieson Greer from the US talked. They met during another meeting about the economy.
Greer said that the talks are moving fast. He thinks Europe wants to find a way to trade together. Šefčovič said they are going the right way. He said they will talk again soon to see how it goes.
It is not likely they will make a big deal in Paris. The problems are hard to fix quickly. Donald Trump is not happy about the trade. He thinks the US buys more from Europe than it sells.
Trump thinks Europe's taxes are not fair. He does not like the tax on cars from the US. Europe says they buy services from the US, like technology. This makes the trade more equal.
Europe might put new taxes on the US because of steel taxes. They want the US to stop all taxes on some goods. Europe might buy more gas and weapons from the US. But they will not change their taxes or buy US beef.
