President Donald Trump said Monday the time has come to pursue trade negotiations with the European Union which he said imposes incredible barriers to US goods.
After reaching a series of trade deals with Canada, Mexico and Japan and a phase-one agreement with China, Trump said, “The next thing could be Europe, where we talk to them very seriously”.Trump has imposed punishing tariffs on EU goods like French wine in a dispute over Airbus and other goods in a confrontation over tax on digital giants like Google and Amazon.But so far, he has held off on threatened punitive duties on European cars aimed at forcing a change in trade policy.
Trump said he focused first on the dispute with China and renegotiating the continental free trade pact with Canada and Mexico because he “didn’t want to do the whole world at one time”. But on Monday, he renewed his complaints about EU trade policy, even claiming improbably that the economic bloc “was really formed so they could treat us badly.”DOWNLOAD THE PUNCH NEWS APP NOW ON
