EU chief says deal on US pact is step towards 'balanced' transatlantic trade

EU chief Ursula von der Leyen welcomed an agreement struck Wednesday to implement the bloc's trade pact with the United States, hoping it would close a tumultuous chapter in transatlantic relations.

"This means we will soon deliver on our part of the EU-US joint statement, as promised. I now call on the co-legislators to move swiftly and finalise the process. Together, we can ensure stable, predictable, balanced, and mutually beneficial transatlantic trade," she said in a social media post.
