		</div><p>President Donald Trump said he hears European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is a “very tough negotiator”, but said he hoped the US and European Union could make progress on a new trade deal.</p>
<p>“It’s great to be with the president of the European Commission and a woman who’s highly respected, I have to say, and I hear a very tough negotiator, which is bad news for us,” Mr Trump told reporters before meeting her on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.</p>

<p>“Trade right now and a deal between ourselves and essentially Europe is something that we all want to be able to make.”</p>
<blockquote><p>The American people and the European people are good friends and this is what we&#8217;ve got to build on</p></blockquote>
<p>It was the first time that Ms von der Leyen has met Mr Trump, who has had many disagreements with Europe over tax and trade policy, including a new digital tax by the French that American tech giants, such as Amazon and Google, are forced to pay.</p>
<p>“I think what we never should forget that we have a long history of common foundation, of a lot of business compacts, friendship,” she said.</p>
<p>“The American people and the European people are good friends and this is what we’ve got to build on.”</p>
<p>Mr Trump has smarted over the French tax, and his administration has announced plans to impose retaliatory tariffs of up to 100% on cheese, wine, lipstick and other French imports.</p>
