US President Donald Trump said he hopes to meet with the "fantastic" head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, amid trade tensions between the US and the EU over duties imposed by the head of the White House.
"She is really fantastic, I hope we will meet," Donald Trump said, responding to a journalist who asked him in the Oval Office if he was planning such a meeting, AFP reports.
Unaccustomed to such a tone from the owner of the White House, who does not hide his contempt for the European Union and its institutions, the head of the European Commission laughed in response when asked about this flattering characteristic.
"Actually, I like compliments," she replied at a press conference held in In Brussels, together with the new German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
The "European Union" really wants to make a deal. Everyone wants to make a deal with The United States," Donald Trump said on Thursday, announcing the achievement of the first trade agreement with the UK.
The President of the United States and the President of the European Commission on April 26 in Rome on the occasion of the funeral of Pope Francis communicated very little and agreed to meet later.
