President Trump's trade envoy is meeting with top officials from the European Union and Japan in Brussels.
The EU is seeking clarity from Washington on whether the 28-nation bloc will be exempt from recently imposed US tariffs on steel and aluminum. The EU has threatened to retaliate by slapping tariffs on US products. And Japan, as America's top ally in Asia, also wants to be on the exemption list, which at the moment includes just Canada and Mexico.
