[1/5] European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen attends the informal meeting of European heads of state or government, in Granada, Spain October 6, 2023. On Thursday night, Von der Leyen was visiting Granada's famed Alhambra Palace and fortress - built by the city's Muslim rulers in the 13th century - when she complemented guide Sumaya Abdelbi on her silk scarf. Abdelbi, who was born in Germany and is of Moroccan origin, briefed Von de Leyen and her husband on the palace. "I told her that she was now also part of the history of the Alhambra and she was very impressed," Abdelbi told Reuters. As Von der Leyen was leaving the event, Abdelbi saw her again and shouted: "I want to give you my scarf!".

WASHINGTON, March 3 (Reuters) - The United States and European Union are working toward agreement in principle on a deal to make European minerals eligible for tax credits, a senior EU official said Friday. The EU official said an agreement could come as early as next week, in time for a visit by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to Washington, on a deal that would give the EU "free trade agreement-like status." The EU official said it was critical to reach an agreement soon, given moves by some European companies to shift production to the United States. This would be very reduced and certainly not a free trade agreement in the classical way," the official said. But the EU in December praised a U.S. Treasury Department decision to allow EVs leased by consumers to qualify for up to $7,500 in commercial clean vehicle tax credits.
