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.

    It was ridiculous to see massive ships that took natural gas to Europe instead of using the huge gas pipes coming from Russia.

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

      Tell Russia that, the EU never turned them off or stopped ordering. It was Russia who turned them off to try to bully the EU.
