EU aims to reach trade deal with US in 'coming days'

The European Union wants to strike a deal with the United States "in the coming days" to avoid sweeping tariffs, a spokesman said Wednesday.

"The United States has moved its deadline for finalizing deals with partner countries to the first of August. However, we aim to reach a deal before then, potentially even in the coming days, we have shown our readiness to reach an agreement in principle," EU trade spokesman Olof Gill said.
