Former President Donald Trump announced that the European Union has reached out to quickly schedule trade meetings, calling it a “positive event” in a post on social media.

The talks are expected to focus on easing long-standing tensions over tariffs and regulatory differences, particularly in sectors like technology, energy, and climate policy. The renewed dialogue could signal a shift toward stronger transatlantic cooperation, despite recent strains in trade relations.

While no specific dates have been confirmed, officials from both sides suggest the meetings could pave the way for new agreements that benefit both economies. Analysts say a breakthrough could be especially impactful as global supply chains adapt to shifting geopolitical dynamics.

The announcement has been met with cautious optimism in both Washington and Brussels, with observers hopeful that dialogue will lead to more stable and collaborative U.S.-EU relations.
