FRANKFURT (Reuters) - European Central Bank Vice-President Luis de Guindos said on Tuesday he was "relatively optimistic" about Europe's chances of navigating trade tensions with the United States.

"I'm relatively optimistic," he told an event in Spain. "From Europe's point of view, this has been a wake-up call. We've realised we have to be more autonomous (militarily and economically)".

He added Europe needed to negotiate with the United States "with a cool head".
