@MalmstromEU: Day of meetings in Brussels with Minister @SekoHiroshige and @USTradeRep Lighthizer. I had a frank discussion with the US side about the serious pending issue of steel/aluminium tariffs. As a close security and trade partner of the US, the EU must be excluded from the announced measures. No immediate clarity on the exact US procedure for exemption however, so discussions will continue next week.
