The European Commission has invited the sectors most impacted by US tariffs to an in-person meeting on Thursday, an invitation letter seen by Reuters showed, as the commission weighs new trade partnerships and further countermeasures.

The meeting led by the Commission industry chief Stephane Sejourne will include participants from the steel and autos industries. The meeting followed calls from Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and executives in the metals, pharmaceutical, and auto industries.
