A war of words between LVMH and Tiffany escalated on Tuesday with the French luxury group describing Tiffany's prospects as 'dismal' and the US jeweler accusing LVMH of improperly trying to renegotiate a takeover deal. The Louis Vuitton owner's $16billion purchase of Tiffany came close to collapse this month after LVMH said it could not complete the deal by a November 24 deadline, triggering a legal battle. LVMH, led by billionaire Bernard Arnault, cited an official foreign ministry request to delay closing the deal to January, following trade tensions with the United States and worsening business conditions at Tiffany because of the coronavirus emergency. Tiffany, in turn, sued LVMH in a Delaware court, accusing it of deliberately stalling completion of the deal, which was agreed last year before the pandemic emerged.  It is seeking a court order to force LVMH to honor the original deal and a four-day trial is scheduled to begin on January 5.  On Monday, LVMH filed its
