Trump open to EU trade deal following Greek PM Mitsotakis’ remarks

·

US President Donald Trump expressed support for Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ remarks on the potential for a mutually beneficial trade agreement between the European Union and the United States.

“I agree. I know him, he’s a good man, I appreciate his comments,” Trump told reporters on Wednesday, April 9, adding, “Yes, a deal can be made with any of them. A deal will be made with China. A deal will be made with every one of them. And there will be fair deals with all of them.”

Earlier, Mitsotakis had told Breitbart News that there is potential for a “win-win” trade deal.

“There is a possibility of finding a win-win solution when it comes to trade, a solution that is mutually beneficial,” he said in the interview.

Mitsotakis added that while reciprocal measures had been announced by the EU, there is still room for negotiation.

“At the end of the day, Europe and the European market is very important to the US and the US is important to Europe, and we need to work out a solution,” he said.
