President Trump declared his “love” for the European Union on Wednesday by tweeting an image of himself kissing European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker.

“Obviously the European Union, as represented by [Juncker] and the United States, as represented by yours truly, love each other!” Trump wrote.

The image taken from the Oval Office shows the two greeting each other with a traditional European peck on the cheek.

Trump said earlier on Wednesday that he and Juncker agreed in talks to “work together toward zero tariffs, zero non-tariff barriers, and zero subsidies on non-auto industrial goods.”

Juncker said they had agreed not to impose any new tariffs while talks were taking place.

The meeting was intended to cool off frosty trade disputes between the US and the European Union in recent months.

Trump has imposed hefty tariffs on imports of steel and aluminum from the EU and Europe had slapped on US goods in response.
