Trump shared the photo shortly after the two leaders delivered a joint statement on Wednesday, announcing that they have reached a deal to begin resolving a dispute over tariffs and avoid a trade war.

President Trump called the meeting a 'very big day for free and fair trade'.

The meeting turned out to be fruitful since the elimination of tariffs would reduce the growing tension between EU and the USA.

In another tweet, the US President said, "European Union representatives told me that they would start buying soybeans from our great farmers immediately. Also, they will be buying vast amounts of LNG!"

Earlier this year, the Trump administration slapped tariffs on steel and aluminium imports from several U.S. allies, including the EU.

Trump also threatened to impose a 20 per cent tariff on all European automobile imports. (ANI)
