US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that duties imported from the European Union will introduce his government “soon”. He also indicated that Britain could avoid such measures so far, Informs TASR according to AFP.
Trump has already launched a trade war against Canada, Mexico and China on the introduction of the high duties on the grounds that he wants the three leading business partners to do more to suppress the influx of migrants and illegal drugs to the US. However, the Republican President, who returned to the White House just two weeks ago, signals that he also wants to punish business partners for the United States deficit, AFP wrote.
“We’ll see what happens. It can happen (with Britain) … but it will certainly happen to the European Union. I can tell you because they really used us. You know, we have a deficit of over $ 300 billion“Trump said.” They don’t take our cars, they don’t take our agricultural products. They take almost nothing and we take everything from millions of cars, a huge amount of food and agricultural products. So Britain is quite beyond the border … but the European Union is really beyond the border, “says the US President.
In the case of London, Trump indicated the perspective of the agreement. In his own words, he thinks it may occur. “The Prime Minister (Keir) Starmer was very nice. We had several meetings, we had numerous phone calls, we get along very well and see if we can balance it or not“the White House chief added.
The European Commission has already regretted the decision of Trump to introduce duties on goods from Canada, Mexico and China. At the same time, the EC promised to respond vigorously if unfair duties were imposed on the EU.
