• We had substantive and constructive discussion with Greer, concluded we are advancing in right direction and pace.
  • Main message from at trade talks in Paris is strong support for multi-lateral ties, strong rules based system.
  • On US steel tariffs, we discussed this with Greer, told him we strongly regret it, and it does not help negotiations.
  • Currently out discussions with the US are covering all the issues.
  • The 50% US tariff hike on steel is a surprise.
  • I still believe in negotiations with the US, believe we can achieve a positive result, but we are ready to defend out interests.
