(Reuters) – U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said that the United States and the European Union were in talks about a free trade-style deal around clean technology, the Financial Times reported on Friday.
The U.S. was seeking to build a “backbone” of manufacturing to reverse decades of deindustrialization and break dependence on China, the FT reported Granholm as saying.
