Asia FX muted, dollar weakens slightly ahead of Fed rate decision
Investing.com -- European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced Friday she will meet with U.S. President Donald Trump in Scotland on Sunday to discuss trade relations between the European Union and the United States.
"Following a good call with @POTUS, we have agreed to meet in Scotland on Sunday to discuss transatlantic trade relations, and how we can keep them strong," von der Leyen wrote in a post on X.
The meeting comes as trade tensions between the two economic powers have escalated. Trump expressed skepticism about reaching a trade agreement with the EU, stating Friday there was a "50-50 chance or perhaps less" of securing a deal. The U.S. president added that Brussels wanted to "make a deal very badly."
Despite the uncertainty, the European Commission indicated Thursday that a negotiated trade solution with the United States was within reach.
