Direct quote from Trump: "Will I impose tariffs on the EU? Do you want an honest answer or a political one? Absolutely. The EU has treated us terribly."
"They don't take our cars. They don't take our agricultural products. Essentially, they take almost nothing. We have a huge deficit with the EU. Therefore, we will do something very significant regarding the EU."
Details: Trump explained that imposing tariffs on products from EU countries should allow the U.S. to address the trade deficit issue.
Reminder: The United States plans to impose tariffs on imports from Canada, China, and Mexico starting February 1, as announced by Donald Trump.
Trump previously stated that his administration would implement 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada, starting February 1, which is tomorrow.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau mentioned that Ottawa is prepared to take countermeasures against the tariffs but warned that the country faces "difficult times".
