- The US is putting massive pressure on the EU by threatening to make it harder to export their cars to the US.



- The US wants the EU to buy more agrarian products from the US.



- The US wants the EU to accept weaker quality-standards for GMO-plants and meat from hormonally treated animals. The EU outlaws such foodstuff in a precautious way until they are proven safe. The US wants that foodstuff be sold freely until they are proven harmful.



- The US insist on arbitration-courts. They are willing to make them more transparent, but they won't allow that such cases be settled in actual legal courts.
