A top German industry group gave a cautious welcome to solutions proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker to avert a trade deal but warned that U.S. auto tariffs were not completely off the table yet.

The DIHK group said it was up to the United States now to rebuild a basis of trust with Europe, and remove the illegal tariffs.

"The proposed solutions move in the right direction, but a significant portion of skepticism remains," the group said in a statement, adding the meeting had at least demonstrated that Europe would not let itself be divided.
