Merkel says TTIP trade deal won't be concluded

German Chancellor Angela Merkel admitted today that a trade deal between the European Union and United States would not be concluded now, after the election of Donald Trump, who opposes the planned accord.
"I have always been strongly engaged for a conclusion of a trade deal with the United States. We have made a lot of progress on the negotiations, but it will not be concluded now," she said, following talks with US President Barack Obama on his farewell tour of Europe.
