WASHINGTON, July 17 (Reuters) - The European Union continues to be very eager in negotiating trade with the U.S., White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said at a press conference on Thursday.
The bloc is seeking "ways to lower their tariff and their non-tariff barriers that we have long said harm our workers and our companies", she said, adding that President Donald Trump would not accept a postponement of the August 1 deadline when higher duties would come into effect.
