(Alliance News) - The EU's trade chief said he planned to speak with his US counterparts Monday, as Brussels scrambles to head off a new threat of 30% tariffs by President Donald Trump.

"I intend to speak with my US counterparts again later today, as I cannot imagine, walking away without genuine effort," trade commissioner Maros Sefcovic said ahead of a meeting of EU ministers, adding he "felt" that, despite Trump's threat, Washington was ready to "continue the negotiations".
