Consider it detente. The United States and the European Union, seemingly at the brink of a trade war until Wednesday, managed to calm things down after a meeting between President Donald Trump and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker.

The two agreed to hold off on further rounds of tariffs and committed to work toward a new bilateral trade deal.
