“White tobacco” went out to the Vatican, but not for the new Pope. The optimism that the news exudes relates to the fact that there was an agreement for a second year meeting between the US president and the head of the European Commission, and the negotiations on a possible truce on the Russian -Duchranian front are open.
The deal was reached during a brief conversation on the sidelines of Pope Francis’ funeral, von Der Lien spokesman said. “During their brief conversation, President von Der Laien and President Trump have agreed to meet,” Paula Pinio said in a post in X. More information was not available.

It is noted that to date, since his assumption of his duties in January, when he was sworn in for the second time US president, Trump has met with many other European leaders, von der Laien has not managed to plan a meeting with him, despite the fact that the commission is in charge.
The US imposed a 25% duties on cars from the EU, steel and aluminum, March and 20% duties on other EU products in April.
They then reduced 20%to July 8, giving a 90 -day window for conversations, aiming to achieve a more comprehensive tariff agreement.
In response, the EU suspended its own plans to impose reciprocal duties on some US products and proposed zero duties for all industrial products on both sides.
On Friday, EU Economics Commissioner Valdis Dobrovskis said that the proposal for zero duties only met average interest on the American side and that the US and the EU had a median interest. There are still significant progress to achieve an agreement that will prevent duties from imposing on both sides.
