The European Union and the United States agreed on Thursday (25 May) to set up a joint delegation to increase trade cooperation, after the EU-US free trade deal negotiations were put on ice with the election of Donald Trump.
The United States is ready to negotiate a new trade deal with the UK. It also continues to have plans for the European Union, said Representative Paul Ryan, the Republican Speaker of the US House of Representatives.
THE future of the controversial Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) between the US and EU has been thrown into doubt, hours after Donald Trump was sworn in as President
A quietly downplayed or ignored element in that now-infamous intelligence dossier is the impact Russia's election interference has had influencing trade policy.
Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmström and United States Trade Representative Michael Froman have today published a joint assessment of the progress made in the negotiations for a Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) since negotiations started in July 2013.
New European Union proposals in trade talks with the U.S. are aimed at simplifying technical regulations in the cosmetics, medical devices, cars, chemicals and textiles sectors, the European Commission said.
The massive opposition to TTIP in Europe should convince the EU to listen to its citizens, as the issue has the potential, in conjunction with other factors like Brexit, to bring the whole idea of the Union into question, writes Nomi Byström.

Waiting in the wings, and still being negotiated largely in secret is the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). The agreement, between the U.S. and the 28-nation European Union, has been formally discussed through 12 rounds of negotiations, with another round scheduled for some time this month. Both sides would like to conclude this treaty by the end of 2016.
EXCLUSIVE / Labour rights in the US must be improved before any potential TTIP deal is signed and Brexit’s economic impact is of concern, according to the chairman of the European Parliament’s Committee on International Trade, Bernd Lange. EurActiv Germany reports.
The legal scrub of the Canada-European Union Comprehensive and Economic Trade Agreement (CETA) is “virtually complete” and the current timeline suggests the deal will be implemented in early 2017, Canada’s chief negotiator — Steve Verheul — told the House of Commons international trade committee Tuesday morning.
TTIP negotiations have been running since 2013, yet German parliamentarians have only recently been allowed to read the documents. Now, documents have been made available in a high-security reading room
