Brussels
THE European Union and China will hold a summit in Brussels on June 2, four EU officials said, the first since the election of US President Donald Trump that has united the two economic powers against global warming and trade protectionism.
China's premier and the heads of the European Union's main institutions will aim to deliver a strong statement in support of the Paris climate deal that Mr Trump has threatened to withdraw from, the officials said.
