EU, UAE agree to launch trade deal negotiations

EU chief Ursula von der Leyen said Thursday that the 27-nation bloc and the United Arab Emirates had agreed to open negotiations on a trade agreement as Brussels seeks to diversify trade away from the United States.

Emirati President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan "and I just decided to launch negotiations on an EU-UAE free trade agreement," the European Commission president wrote on X.

"This agreement will strengthen our bilateral relations and contribute to the prosperity of the broader region."
