Donald J. Trump

@realDonald Trump

The European Union, which was formed for the primary purpose of taking advantage of the United States on TRADE, has been very difficult to deal with. Their powerful Trade Barriers, Vat Taxes, ridiculous Corporate Penalties, Non-Monetary Trade Barriers, Monetary Manipulations, unfair and unjustified lawsuits against Americans Companies, and more, have led to a Trade Deficit with the U.S. of more than $250,000,000 a year, a number which is totally unacceptable. Our discussions with them are going nowhere!

Therefore, I am recommending a straight 50% Tariff on the European Union, starting on June 1, 2025. There is no Tariff if the product is built or manufactured in the United States. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Mad man

everybody must pay for it.

Only African countries are left out. This says a lot about Africa.

I can't blame Trump on this one. The EU is actually a tough place to do business.

Imagine trying to negotiate with about 30 countries over unfair trade practices. There's bound to be a lot of bottle necks.

Starting or ing a company in Europe is expensive, taxes are high, you also have customer data protection laws that your company can break without even realising and you will be fined heavily for it.

Ease of doing business is something else. It's probably Estonia and a handful of countries who are trying to break some of these barriers.

He wants to bully a whole continent

His followers would still be hailing him that he is best president.

I think it's only African leaders taken policy base on personal reasons,.......this one just waking up and dish out useless policies, without thinking implications.

Shebi tariffs is for export products. What are you producing in the first place?
He that is down, need fear no fall.

Na everybody go collect.....

This man thinks the contemporary US is still the US of the 80's and 90's.....

Na him go use im hand remove am like that of China when he realizes that we are all important to one another.

You cant just bully your way through everything.....And again, he has shown the world he has only one card to play, which will ultimately drain his influence.

I'm eager to see if they'll respond like China.

Lol! Trump dey fight everybody.

the days Canada, UK, EU and US would collude to invade weak Countries God have finally turned them against one another.

The beginning of the end to Western Imperialism

Madness comes in different shade.

Trump is trying very hard to be like[b] '' George Wallace '' [/b]

Lol las las na u go tire...

He actually has a point, USa helped rebuild after WW2. NATO depend heavily on US yet they tax US companies very heavy to protect their own interest. They benefit more from USA than USA benefit from them, Trump might be a mad man but he is totally right on this. Europe Union is time to pay your own fair share

Trump Trump

mad man confuse

we don't have much to trade with America besides raw minerals that they buy from us. We don't buy anything from America so nothing to tax

This low life never learn. EU is a very powerful bloc and America biggest customers. Well midterm is around the corner.

You don't.

You negotiate with the union just as you do with USA.

Stop misinforming the public.

Makes no sense and USA would suffer.

Based on 250m?
Baba made a mistake with the figure.

Nice. The EU is no friend

All the US needs to do now is get rid of all illegal immigrants and put lazy Americans off welfare and back to work

No wonder the Forex and Crypto Markets just tumbled.

Everything just went haywire

I'm closing the charts biko.

And takeover Canada and Panama ane those lazy Greenlanders, abi?

Trump my man

Drefaithful:

Nope. Americans only.

He has been told in private that countries do more trades among themselves than with US but he is not listening. Everything from cars to tools to electronics to batteries are made outside US. Just sample everything around you even to your wears and medicines, none is made in US!

Google and Facebook will not reign forever as EU and China are seeing to that since he's discounting the billions deficit other countries have to the US in services sector.

EU is using strategic systems in place to tell him that they don't give a hoot.

Commentor:

Yes. The powerful has the right of ownership

The man-child ended such a weighty decision by saying Thank you for your attention to this matter.

What puerile childishness from the slowpoke currently sitting in the white house.

I hope America survives Trump and ZMusk just like I hope Nigeria survives Tinubu but of this, I'm not hopeful 'cos the minute Tinubu spent just 2 months in Aso Rock, I seriously believe that he is already richer than Nigeria based on what he did to the treasury of Lagos State during and after his time as Governor up till today's date.

And when they take out all illegal immigrants in America finish maybe you will be the one doing jobs illegal immigrants do in America.

You will help them do their cleaning,picking of eggs jobs.

Average American is selective to jobs.
