Trump threatens to slap 25% tariffs on EU, says bloc was always meant to hurt the U.S.
U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to impose 25% tariffs on imports from the European Union, claiming that the economic and political bloc was formed “to screw” the U.S.
On Wednesday, during the first Cabinet meeting of his second term in office, Trump said that duties against Canada and Mexico would take effect on April 2 and that his trade measures will include a 25% tariff on goods from the EU.
