WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democrat Joe Biden would end the "artificial trade war" that U.S. President Donald Trump has waged against Europe, while working to address persistent imbalances in agricultural trade between the two blocs, a senior adviser said on Tuesday.

Tony Blinken, speaking at an online event hosted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said the former vice president also believed in countering aggressive actions by Russia, including through coordinated sanctions, if necessary.
