BRUSSELS––The United States and the European Union must overcome their trade disputes and stand up to China’s “economic aggression” together, U.S. President Donald Trump’s new ambassador to the European Union said on Sept. 7.

Gordon Sondland, a hotel magnate who was sworn in on June 30, said in an opinion piece for Politico Europe that Washington and Brussels needed to seize the new momentum created by a July trade agreement between the United States and the European Union to suspend proposed U.S. tariffs on European cars.
