In a stunning reversal, Trump said on Wednesday he would temporarily lower the hefty duties he had just imposed on dozens of countries while further ramping up pressure on China, sending global stocks rocketing higher, Reuters reported.
“On the European front there is a possibility of finding a win-win solution when it comes to trade, a solution which will be mutually beneficial," Mitsotakis told US news network Breitbart from his office in Athens.
The European Union on Wednesday agreed to launch its first countermeasures against US tariffs next week. But European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Thursday welcomed Trump's announcement of the pause.
Mitsotakis said that there was "still room for negotiations" with the United States before Europe considered any major reciprocal response beyond what had been announed on Wednesday.
"Europe and the European market is very important for the US and US is important for Europe and we need to work out a solution."
