Talks between the United States and the European Union on steel tariffs and carbon emissions are “in a difficult place, but [negotiators] still have got plenty of time” to reach an agreement, SMA President Philip K. Bell tells Politico (“U.S., EU search for climate truce — and a united front against China,” March 10, 2023).
