''So, how did he ultimately manage to secure a deal with Donald Trump
that nobody had thought possible? Jean-Claude Juncker found himself
sitting in an unadorned meeting room at a Washington think tank, where
he reflected on the hours he had just spent at the White House. He
appeared visibly exhausted, but was in a buoyant mood. "I did it," he
said.
He had spent more than two hours negotiating with Trump before
finally reaching an agreement that was greeted with relief both in the European Union and the United States.
Trump has now said he will not impose punitive tariffs on European cars
-- at least for the time being. In exchange, the Europeans have
expressed a willingness to buy more liquefied petroleum gas and soybeans
from the U.S. and, among other things, discuss how tariffs on other
goods can be abolished. The president has agreed there will be no
further tariffs, Juncker announced proudly, and that existing tariffs on
cars would not be increased..''
