Trump meets with EU leaders for trade talks

US President Donald Trump holds talks with European Union leaders in the EU capital Brussels.

Trade relationship is high on the agenda of the talks. The EU is worried about the future of trade ties after Trump kicked off plans to renegotiate the NAFTA agreement with Canada and Mexico. US-EU trade represents over 45 percent of the global economy, but negotiations on a broad trans-Atlantic free-trade agreement have been on hold since Barack Obama left office. Trump is due to meet with NATO leader later in the day. The U-S president changed his critical tone toward the EU after meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Washington. In February, in a sharp contrast to his previous comments, Trump said the EU was wonderful. This, only a month after he praised Britain's decision to leave the European Union and said more countries would follow.
