US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick urges the European Union to take a "balanced approach" to digital regulation in order to secure an agreement to lower steel tariffs. Speaking after meeting EU trade ministers in Brussels along with US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, Lutnick says: "If they can come up with that balanced approach, which I think they can, then we will together with them handle the steel and aluminium issues."
