Trump expressed confidence in reaching a trade agreement with the EU but was in no rush to finalize it; if negotiations break down, it is reported that the EU is considering export restrictions on the US; the US Treasury Secretary also stated that negotiations with Japan are progressing very satisfactorily, and the advancement of trade agreements pushed up overnight copper prices.
