US VP Pence talks of deepening ties to European Union
Vice President Mike Pence
says he's looking forward to exploring ways to "deepen our relationship
with the European Union and the European community" at the start of his
meeting with the EU's foreign policy chief.
Pence was opening a day of meetings on the EU and NATO with the EU's
Federica Mogherini (feh-deh-REE'-kah moh-gehr-EE'-nee) in Brussels.
Pence was facing deep skepticism among European leaders over the foreign
policy direction of the new administration of President Donald Trump.
Trump was supportive of Great Britain's vote to the exit the 28-nation EU bloc last year, known as Brexit. And he has suggested that the EU could soon fall apart.
