In Paris, the concern is that there cannot be any agreement over trade while the U.S. refuses to commit to key environmental targets.
French President Emmanuel Macron has one big issue regarding trade talks with the United States — the White House does not support the latest climate deal.
"It is a question of values. Europe must be exemplary and firm in its defense of the climate," the same official said. However, President Trump is of the opinion that the deal is"bad" for the United States and in 2017 he notified the other members of his intention to withdraw from the agreement. He added that there will be"further turbulence ahead" in these negotiations given that the European negotiating position does not fit the with the U.S. demands.
"They barely take our agricultural products, and yet they can sell Mercedes Benz and they can sell anything they want in our country including their farm products, and it's not fair," Trump said Monday, while threatening to impose tariffs on European carmakers if the EU does not expand its negotiating remit.
