🚨🇺🇸TRUMP: EU MUST BUY $350B OF U.S. ENERGY TO ESCAPE TARIFFS
At a White House press conference, Trump rejected Brussels' “zero-for-zero” offer on car and industrial goods tariffs:
“No, it’s not enough… We have a deficit with the European Union of $350 billion and it’s gonna disappear fast.”
Trump said that deficit could be wiped out immediately if the EU buys an equivalent amount of U.S. energy:
“They can buy it… we can knock off $350 billion in one week.”
The ultimatum follows Trump’s announcement of 20% tariffs on the EU and minimum 10% tariffs on other trade partners, moves that have rocked global markets.
He also blasted the EU’s regulatory barriers, calling them “non-monetary tariffs” that block U.S. products through red tape and impossible standards.
