Let’s be honest, EU was created to rob US - Trump

Donald Trump

US President Donald Trump confirmed the introduction of a 25% tariff on imports from the European Union and said that the association was created to rob the United States.

This is reported by Censor.NET with reference to Ukrainska Pravda.

The US President said this during the first meeting of his Cabinet of Ministers.

"We have made a decision, and we will announce it very soon. It will be 25 per cent in total, and it will apply to cars and everything else," Trump explained.

In response, the European Commission threatened countermeasures if Trump imposes tariffs, saying that the EU will ‘respond strongly and immediately to unjustified barriers to free and fair trade’.

Trump did not offer any new details on his proposed tariffs on the EU, including what authority he would use. Instead, he renewed his fierce attacks on the bloc for what he has long perceived as an unbalanced economic relationship.

"They don't accept our cars. They don't accept, in fact, our agricultural products, they use all kinds of reasons why not. Let's be honest, the European Union was created to rob the United States. That is its purpose. And they've done a good job of it," the President of the United States believes.
