Trump’s Explosive Attack on EU: ‘European Union Was Formed to Screw the U.S.’ | 25% Tariffs Incoming [Video]

Trump’s Explosive Attack on EU: ‘European Union Was Formed to Screw the U.S.’ | 25% Tariffs Incoming

Trump’s Explosive Attack on the EU. In a scathing attack on the European Union, former U.S. President Donald Trump claimed that the EU was created to take advantage of the United States. Speaking at his first cabinet meeting since returning to the White House, Trump announced new tariffs, confirming a 25% tax on key European imports, including cars. The U.S.-EU trade deficit reached $235.6 billion last year, fueling Trump's push for aggressive trade measures. The European Union rejected his accusations, calling itself "the world's largest free market" and warning of immediate retaliation if tariffs are imposed. #TrumpVsEU #TradeWar #USTariffs #BreakingNews #DonaldTrump #EUPolitics #EconomicCrisis #TariffBattle #GlobalTrade #USNews #TrumpSpeech #EUTrade #AmericaFirst #Geopolitics #MarketImpact Also Read Donald Trump Administration Slashes 90% Of USAID Foreign Aid Contracts :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-administration-slashes-90-of-usaid-foreign-aid-contracts-4081813.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Says Zelenskyy To Visit White House On Friday, Will Finalise Minerals Deal Amid US-Ukraine Security Talk :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-says-zelenskyy-to-visit-white-house-on-friday-will-finalise-minerals-deal-amid-us-ukraine-sec-4081663.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Administration Orders Large-Scale Federal Job Cuts In Major Govt Restructuring :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-administration-orders-large-scale-federal-job-cuts-in-major-govt-restructuring-4081639.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~PR.152~GR.124~ED.346~

Moldovan Police BLOCK Orthodox Bishop’s Holy Journey to Jerusalem | Religious Freedom CRUSHED?

In a shocking move, Moldovan authorities have blocked Bishop Marchel of the Moldovan Orthodox Church from traveling to Jerusalem for the sacred Holy Fire ceremony, a pivotal moment for Orthodox Christians. Despite having all legal documents in order, Bishop Marchel and his fellow clerics were detained, searched multiple times, and stripped of their passports, missing the flight to Jerusalem. The move has sparked international outrage, with critics calling it politically motivated and a direct attack on religious freedom. The Russian Orthodox Church and lawmakers have condemned Moldova’s actions, while human rights organizations demand accountability.

Trump’s New Iron Dome? Musk's SpaceX to Lead Mega-Missile Defense Project | 1000 Satellites Plan Out

Donald Trump has unveiled a visionary missile defense initiative, dubbed the "Golden Dome," aimed at fortifying the United States' defense against potential missile threats. Elon Musk’s SpaceX, in partnership with Palantir and Anduril, is emerging as a front-runner to take on a key role in this mega-missile defense project. The ambitious plan includes deploying over 1,000 satellites equipped with advanced tracking technology to detect and intercept incoming missiles worldwide. SpaceX has proposed a "subscription service" model for the government to pay for access to the system, bypassing the need for outright ownership, although the proposal has sparked debates over the risks of relying on a private company for defense upgrades and pricing control. #DonaldTrump #ElonMusk #TrumpGoldenDome #GoldenDomeMissile #TrumpMissileDefense #GoldenDomeUSA #GoldenDomeDefense #TrumpDefensePlan #USGoldenDome #GoldenDomeSystem #TrumpSpaceX #GoldenDomeProject #AmericaDefense #GoldenDomeForAmerica #TrumpDefenseInitiative #USMissileDefense #GoldenDomeVsIronDome Also Read China Brushes Off US Tariff Threats, Warns Against 'Numbers Game' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/china-brushes-off-us-tariff-threats-warns-against-numbers-game-4126079.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Administration Freezes USD 2.2 Billion In Grants To Harvard University :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-administration-freezes-usd-2-2-billion-in-grants-to-harvard-university-4124075.html?ref=DMDesc US Teen Nikita Casap Accused Of Killing Parents To Fund Plot To Assassinate Donald Trump :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-teen-nikita-casap-accused-of-killing-parents-to-fund-plot-to-assassinate-donald-trump-4123199.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~GR.124~HT.410~
