A French official later revealed the talks with the US were “extraordinary”.
He said: “And so began a long litany of recriminations, somewhat bitter reports that the United States was treated unfairly, that the trading system was totally unfavourable to the United States, the American economy, American workers, the middle class.
"In short, a long, frank rant which is undoubtedly very unusual in this kind of formats.”
