President Obama and leaders from the EU formally launched the talks at a news conference
UK Prime Minister David Cameron has announced plans for what could be "the biggest bilateral trade deal in history" between the EU and the US.
He announced the start of formal negotiations on a trade deal worth hundreds of billions of dollars, aimed at boosting exports and driving growth.
Mr Cameron said a successful agreement would have a greater impact than all other world trade deals put together.
The talks were announced ahead of the G8 summit in Northern Ireland.
"This is a once-in-a-generation prize and we are determined to seize it," said Mr Cameron.
US President Barack Obama said the first round of negotiations would take place in Washington in July. They aim to conclude by the end of 2014.
Mr Obama said he was confident of reaching an agreement.
"There are going to be sensitivities on both sides... but if we can look beyond the narrow concerns to stay focused on the big picture... I'm hopeful we can achieve [a deal]."
