Trump: I Will “Absolutely” Impose Tariffs On The EU

“Am I going to impose tariffs on the European Union? Do you want the truthful answer, or should I give you the political answer? Absolutely. Absolutely. The European Union has treated us so terribly. Let me just tell you, I got elected for a lot of reasons. Number one was the border, number two was inflation, because I had almost no inflation, and yet I charged hundreds of millions of dollars of tariffs to countries. And to think of it, I had almost no inflation and took in $600 billion of money from other countries and tariffs don’t cause inflation they cause success. They cause big success. There could be some temporary, short-term disruption, and people will understand that. The tariffs are going to make us very rich and very strong”” – Trump, today in the Oval Office.
