WASHINGTON - The United States and European Union should use common sense to move forward with formal negotiations about a trade agreement, instead of allowing disagreements over agriculture to block progress, a senior German diplomat told Reuters.

“The appeal is directed at both negotiating partners: not to use or abuse this issue of agriculture that is hanging over everything as a blockade,” Beyer said in Washington ahead of meetings with high-ranking U.S. officials from the White House and the U.S. Trade Representative’s office, and lawmakers.

“It looks like an unsolvable situation, but it can be solved through common sense,” Beyer said. “We can at least start the formal process by excluding the topic for now, and then harvest some low-hanging fruit ... Then we’ll see what happens.”

Yeah I have mixed feelings about this.. How about a level playing field.. How much has Germany sent over to America .. How much has the US sent there? It would be nice to see the actual numbers..

another trump lie

Les commentaires de l'allemand sont scandaleux, il dit texto qu'on doit être prêt à sacrifier les intérêts nationaux pour faire avancer l'Europe. Comprenons que la France doit céder sur l'agriculture pour que les inénarrables allemands puissent vendre leur voitures truquées...

Sarcasm of the highest order

British Jews trace Iberian heritage to retain EU citizenshipWho might help Remainers keep EU passports? Nobody expected the Spanish Inquisition This might be a foolish and fatal move, giving anti-Semites new ammunition over an old canard that Jews never assimilate, but use a country they're in for what they can squeeze out of it, having their loyalties elsewhere. 'Nobody expected the Spanish Inquisition.' 😂 Brilliant. They are able to benefit from all.
