European Parliament President
Antonio Tajani said that Thursday's meetings between EU
officials and United States President Donald Trump had been
productive.
"It was a positive encounter which, according to me, eased
the concerns in Europe that Trump wanted to be distant from us,"
Tajani said.
"It is not the (same) Trump as in the election campaign that
we saw".
European Council President Donald Tusk said some progress was
made.
"We discussed foreign policy, security, climate and trade
relations," Tusk said after he and European Commission President
Jean-Claude Juncker met Trump.
"My feeling is that we agreed on many areas, first and
foremost on counter-terrorism.
"But some issues remain open like climate and trade and I am
not 100% sure that we can say today that we have a common
position about Russia, although when it comes to the conflict in
Ukraine it seems that we were on the same lines".
