The European Union and the United States have agreed to engage in discussions to resolve differences on measures regarding steel and aluminium by the end of the year.

Watch Cristiano Ronaldo give Coca-Cola the thumbs-down

A product placement opportunity by Coca-Cola fell flat when Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo disdainfully removed two bottles of the fizzy drink at a press conference.

He slid the bottles out of sight and instead brandished a bottle of water, telling reporters in Portuguese: “Drink water!”

The 36-year-old, who is known to be obsessed with healthy eating and fitness, appeared unimpressed with the sponsor’s stunt, softly muttering ‘Coca-Cola’ as he placed the bottles out of sight.

Ronaldo’s Portugal kick off against Hungary in the ‘Group of Death’ on Tuesday with France v Germany to follow.
