This is absolutely extraordinary and beyond parody: A reporter rightly asks Von Der Leyen "What are the US concessions? What is the US giving up in the deal" VDL's reply is that there was none because "the starting point was an imbalance, a surplus on our side, and a deficit on the US side [so] we wanted to rebalance the trade relation." This is who we have negotiating on the EU's behalf: someone so thoroughly captured she's repeating almost word for word Trump's insane rhetoric that trade deficits are somehow proof America is a victim that deserves compensation.
