Continuing to answer questions in the Oval Office, Donald Trump has referred to the European Union, repeating the criticisms he often made in recent weeks, writes Sky News.
Donald Trump claims that the proposal made by the EU for a total and mutual customs relief for industrial products, including cars, “It is not enough to raise American customs duties. “
“The block was formed to hurt the US. The countries formed together to create a bit of a monopoly – a unified force against the US for trade. They have NATO and they took advantage of us in terms of dollar and military”said Donald Trump.
“The EU pulls us up in the trade and it was bad with the US. They do not take our cars. They do not take our agricultural products and yet send millions of cars in the USA. It will not. It is not correct,” Trump added.
He adds that trade with the EU must be “Equitable and mutual.”
The European Union has offered the United States an agreement to eliminate tariffs for all industrial goods, April 7 announced on Monday, the President of the European Commission, Ursula von Der Leyen, in an attempt to avoid a commercial war based on mutual measures.
“We have proposed zero rates for zero in industrial goods, as we have already succeeded with many other commercial partners. Because Europe is always ready for a good understanding. So this proposal remains on the table.”she said in a press conference with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, Polito reports.
