French economy minister Eric Lombard (center) says the European Union and the United States were still far from a tariffs deal AFP The European Union and United States are far from reaching a deal on tariffs, France's economy minister said Thursday, as the bloc seeks a way out from trade tensions with Washington. US President Donald Trump has slapped new 10 percent tariffs on most trading partners since returning to the White House in January, and imposed sharp levies on imports of steel, aluminum and autos. The EU has not been spared and a 90-day pause on even higher rates, including for goods from the bloc, is due to expire in early July.
