00:00The United States has sent the European Union its proposed changes to a heavily anticipated joint statement
00:08regarding the trade deal agreed by US President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen last month.
00:18The statement will set out technical details and include a list of goods that will be exempt from tariffs.
00:24I'm now happy to confirm that we have received a text from the US with their suggestions for, let's say, getting closer to that finalisation of the document.
00:40So we're going to look at that now. We'll have some engagement at both technical and political level with our American counterparts.
00:46And we keep the work going forward in that sense.
00:49Washington lowered tariffs it would impose on EU goods to 15% after last month's agreement.
00:56In return, the EU committed to purchasing 750 billion euros worth of US energy products
01:02and investing a further 600 billion euros into the country before the end of Trump's term.
