Trump has not ruled out the withdrawal of some American troops from Europe. “I could do it”
When asked if he had plans to reduce US troops in Europe, Donald Trump replied that “he could do it”, but adding that “it depends”. – We pay for the army in Europe, we do not receive too much reimbursement of costs, as from South Korea. So it would be one of the things to discuss, unrelated to trade, but I think that we will make it part of these conversations, because it makes sense, it would be nice to pack it all in one package for each country – said the US president, referring to negotiations on customs.
Trump admitted that he made the decision to suspend higher duties for 90 days on Wednesday morning, and the regulation on this matter wrote with his economic advisers “from the heart”, without the participation of lawyers. He also noted with relief that the European Union abstained from immediately imposing retaliation duties. The EU announced 25 % retaliation duties on Wednesday, but they were to enter into force in mid -April.
“We want what is good for everyone”
“I am glad that they abstained,” said Donald Trump, emphasizing that he cares not only about the good of America, but also the whole world. – I think that as the United States we have a duty to look at the other side. We want what is good for everyone. I mean that America is in the first place, but we also want to make sure that there is a world where you can live and live happily and so on – he added
President Trump also emphasized the need for a “quick” access to a weapon suspension in Ukraine, as well as the conclusion of an agreement regarding the Iranian nuclear program. As he announced, a meeting planned for Saturday will be the beginning of conversations, but “there is not much time”. He assured that he would not allow Iran to obtain nuclear weapons.
