Summary

Trump has rejected the EU’s “zero-for-zero” tariff offer on cars and industrial goods, demanding instead that the bloc commit to purchasing $350 billion of American energy to offset the trade deficit.

Following his implementation of 20% tariffs on EU goods last week, which triggered significant market downturns, Trump indicated openness to negotiations while emphasizing his “America First” stance.

He also criticized EU product standards as “non-monetary barriers” designed to block American exports.

    Feeding money to Russia was madness and had to be stopped as a priority. Nothing ridiculous about it.

      Right. Feeding Trump’s kingdom of madness is so much better. What might possibly go wrong…
