France will seek to end U.S.-European trade talks if gridlock continues into next year, French trade minister Matthias Fekl said.

“If in the following rounds of talks, and in 2016, things haven’t improved, we will seek to stop talks,” Fekl said Wednesday on RMC radio. “If, in Europe, France doesn’t want a major negotiation to continue, the negotiation won’t happen.”
