BBC World Service - Weekend, European Union and US Meet to Discuss Trade Tariffs

European Union and US meet today to discuss trade issues

Following President Trump’s move to put tariffs on some foreign imports like steel, the European Union has threatened to impose levies on various American goods. The two blocs are meeting today to discuss trade issues. We report from Milwaukee, the home of Harley Davidson motorbikes, about how a trade war could affect the ironic brand.

Also in the programme: Four perspectives on the Democratic Republic of Congo’s long civil war.
