Summary
Donald Trump has demanded the European Union reduce its $131.3 billion U.S. trade deficit by purchasing more American oil and gas or face tariffs.
Trump’s comments, posted on Truth Social, come as the EU works to phase out Russian energy imports and diversify suppliers.
EU officials, while open to U.S. energy imports, criticized Trump’s approach as transactional, warning of potential retaliation.
Analysts highlight risks of tariffs to inflation and global trade. The EU plans to engage pragmatically but has prepared for heightened U.S. protectionism under Trump’s leadership.
“It’s not my fault the car drove into the wall! I don’t like the steering wheel, someone else should have installed a better control system!”
Lmao. Great argument. Enjoy your car crash!
What a weird comparison. Keep voting for the same terrible two parties and then complains about your country crashing.
Duopoly is bad. Trump is worse
You are right but people been justifying voting to the two parties and complains about 3rd party voters before trump was in politics and will continue to do so after Trump
Absolutely, and I agree that this is a long standing issue.
