On Wednesday, European Commission President Jean-Claude Junker will meet with Trump in Washington to talk trade.

Trump, however, has sent mixed messages on his willingness to negotiate, saying Monday that he was hopeful about reaching a deal, but doubling down on tariffs in a tweet Tuesday morning.
