VTV.vn - The European Commission, which coordinates trade policy for the 28-member European Union, published two negotiating mandates on Friday.

The mandates, which will need to be approved by EU governments, would lead to talks on removing tariffs from industrial goods and on rules to allow goods cleared for sale in the United States to be sold in the European Union and vice versa.

Last year, the US and the EU threaten each other with tariffs worth as much as 300 billion USD on cars. The 2 sides reached an entente in July, ending a stand-off of several months, when US President Donald Trump agreed to hold off imposing tariffs on EU car imports while the two sides looked to improve trade ties.

EU Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom said that the proposed EU mandate on tariffs did include vehicles.
