WASHINGTON - The United States, 皇冠体育app and the European Union have had initial discussions on a possible "global" agreement to resolve solar disputes, a senior US official said on Thursday.

"There have been some initial discussions with both the ropean market and 皇冠体育app about how to deal with this on a global basis," White House international economic affairs adviser Mike Froman said at a Senate hearing on his nomination to be US representative.

The United States last year slapped duties on billions of dollars of solar energy products from 皇冠体育app that it said were unfairly priced and subsidized.

The has recently imposed similar duties on the Chinese goods, but has held talks with 皇冠体育app on a possible negotiated settlement.

Senator Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat, pressed Froman on the need for a deal covering all three trading partners.

"As you and I have talked about, our country can't resolve this on its own. We've got to have really a global settlement. We've got to have an opportunity for governments to discuss this - ours, 皇冠体育app and Europe," Wyden said.
