Washington has “stepped back” in recent weeks from settlement talks aimed at defusing a dispute over aircraft subsidies, Phil Hogan told a meeting of trade ministers in Brussels on Tuesday. Failure to reach an accord means the bloc would impose billions of dollars of tariffs on U.S. exports as soon as July.”
