Trump launches blistering new trade attack against Brussels, as he agrees to cool tariff war with Beijing.
Donald Trump said Monday that the European Union is worse than China, hours after Washington and Beijing agreed to slash respective punitive tariffs and de-escalate their trade war.
“European Union is in many ways nastier than China, okay?” Trump said, as he lashed the bloc. “Oh, they’ll come down a lot. You watch. We have all the cards. They treat us very unfairly.”
Despite several attempts at negotiating with Washington to remove Trump’s tariffs on European goods, the EU has yet to achieve a breakthrough.
I went to China on a business trip about 10 years ago. I was gobsmacked by how good they are at flattery. I was totally unprepared for it, and they didn’t even want anything from me.
I’m getting a little tired of USA
I thought it was Canada that was “nasty”. Go fuck yourself mate.
Canada has been nothing but warm and welcoming to my partner and I
Except for the weather. Last winter was rough lol (but I’m used to snow)
The US is the one that has all the cards but it’s the EU that’s unfair? How does that work?
Typical bully.
I’m doing so well just believing the opposite of whatever he says.
By “nasty” he means they aren’t offering him a jumbo jet as a bribe
Translation: the EU still retains some elements of democracy.
I would say autonomy instead of democracy. Many countries here have the same bi-partisan system with both sides being financed by competing (or not) mustache-twirling villains, and ultimately nobody knows nor has a hand in what happens in Brussels… The only reason we’re not more cucked by the powers that be is because our populations are more reactive (?).
He speaks like such a child.
He needs to be understood by his supporters.
Sometimes I wonder if he is really that stupid or is just pretending.
Dammit, I thought we’d always been at war with Eastasia.
The Chinese have already laid the outline on how to handle Trump’s tariffs. Just match the rates and then wait for him to cave. Then he’ll announce how they reached a great historic deal
Considering that he hurt the US economy considerably in the process of getting tootled by China, I don’t think he has credit to spare for repeating the same process with the EU.
As the “kids these days” say:
Cope.
He has like two or three phrases max on his repertoire and he just vomits them all over the press at every occasion, huh? 😅 And this is the person a good chunk of Americans (perhaps not a majority, I know democracy in America is iffy to say the least) thought was at least competent enough to lead? Oh boy oh boy oh boy…
And his limited vocabulary keeps shrinking even more. But don’t call it dementia or the MAGAts get all sensitive.
The children will have to tolerate discomfort to mature as people, like we all have.
Hes gonna fold on the eu too…
One of the reasons Putin put him into office was to sabotage the EU. The others were to destroy NATO and cripple the US economy.
Stop, orange man, you’re making me blush :)
