(The National Pulse)—President Donald J. Trump says he is considering imposing tariffs on goods imported from the European Union. The move would mark a significant escalation in his government’s efforts to end unfair trade imbalances around the globe.
“Am I going to impose tariffs on the European Union?” Trump posited during a press event in the Oval Office while signing a new series of executive orders. He continued: “Do you want a truthful answer or do you want me to give you a political answer?”
“Absolutely,” he said regarding the possible foreign trade measures, adding: “The European Union has treated us so terribly.”
The White House has not offered any further details as to what form the tariffs may take.
