Trump threatens Europe with more tariffs

Source: The Hill

BY AVERY ANAPOL - 03/10/18 04:45 PM EST

President Trump on Saturday threatened to tax European cars if the European Union retaliates against his steep tariffs on aluminum and steel.

Trump suggested in his tweet that the U.S. would not impose the aluminum and steel tariffs on the EU if they dropped their tariffs.

Earlier this week, Trump officially announced tariffs of 25 percent on steel and 10 percent on aluminum, despite major opposition from his own party.

The EU threatened an "arsenal" of retaliatory measures when the tariffs were first proposed, including imposing import tariffs on products made in red districts.

Putin has been trying to sow chaos in Europe so Russia has more influence in the former Soviet Republics. He wants a trade war to damage the EU economy.
