The meeting came as divisions grow in Europe over the proposed tariffs

The cuts are part of new strategy being put in place by former Greenhill banker Simon Borrows, who took over the top job at 3i last month.
The plans will see 3i cut over 160 jobs, equating to more than a third of its staff, as it seeks to reduce annual operating costs by over 40 million pounds ($62 million).
The cuts are designed to assuage shareholders, including Laxey Partners, which have voiced their dissatisfaction with ongoing performance and have called for more money to be funnelled back to them through company sales.
The cuts will see 3i suspend new investments in southern Europe and Asia, but retain a focus on northern Europe and a growing presence in Brazil.
Under the plans, 3i will close its offices in Barcelona, Birmingham, Copenhagen, Hong Kong, Milan and Shanghai and make significant reductions in staff numbers at another six offices.
