Trump warns of ‘severe’ consequences if EU fails to hold trade talks
US President Donald Trump warns the European Union of consequences that will be “severe economically” if Brussels fails to hold trade talks.
“The European Union treats us very, very unfairly,” Trump tells reporters at the White House.
“They’re willing to talk to us. If they don’t talk to us we’ll do something that will be severe economically. We’ll tariff a lot of their products coming in.”
