The European Commission likes the idea of a summit between the EU and the US to discuss trade issues. Such a meeting could be organized thanks to the friendly relations between Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and US President Donald Trump, the Italian news agency ANSA reported, quoted by BTA.
The news was first reported by the newspaper. "Financial Times", citing its own sources in the EC.
Hopes of reaching an agreement to repeal Trump's 20 percent tariffs on EU goods were boosted by Meloni's positive visit to the White House last week for talks with Trump.
At the meeting, the two leaders expressed optimism that a deal could be reached on Washington's tariffs, and Meloni said that Trump had accepted her invitation to visit Rome.
European Council President Antonio Costa, who is responsible for such meetings, has spoken to Meloni about possible EU-US talks.
