German Chancellor Angela Merkel showed hope for a future EU-U.S trade deal on Sunday at the opening of the 70th annual Hannover Messe trade fair, in light of her recent trip to Washington. Merkel emphasized that Germany was opposed to protectionism and trade barriers, and would continue to work for trade agreements like the one signed between the European Union and Canada. She said of her recent visit to Washington that she felt "very encouraged ... that negotiations between the EU and the United States on a free trade agreement ... are also being looked at." Sources close to the White House and President Donald Trump have shown the president warming to the possibility of a deal with the EU, after the "realization" that making a deal with the EU would prove more beneficial to the US than a post-Brexit deal with Britain.http://feeds.reuters.com/~r/reuters/t...http://www.wochit.comThis video was produced by YT Wochit Vote It using http://wochit.com
