US Trade Representative assessed the state of the EU economy

The European economy remains sluggish, US Trade Representative Jamison Greer said.

"The European economy remains sluggish, partly due to their own policy decisions... They need to take action," Greer said when asked about the state of the European economy.

He added that US trade with the EU has declined significantly over the past year.

Earlier, the American trade representative said that the European Union has “fulfilled approximately zero percent” of its obligations under the trade agreement with Washington.
