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.
