Brussels, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 18th Jan, 2019 ) :The EU on Friday published its negotiating plans for a free trade deal with the United States, part of an effort to avert a trade war with US President Donald Trump.

Negotiating a trade deal is part of a transatlantic truce secured last year after the US slapped tariffs on metals imports and threatened duties on cars.

"It is not a traditional (trade deal)... it is a limited but important proposal engaged on industrial goods tariffs only," EU trade commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom told reporters.
