Trump Says He Would Be Surprised If He Had To Raise Tariffs on Europe
Breitbart ^ | 22 Jan 2020 | JOHN CARNEY

In an interview with CNBC’s host Joe Kernen, Trump said he had a “great talk” with the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

“I said, look, if we don’t get something, I’m going to have to take action, and the action will be very high tariffs on their cars and other things that come into our country,” Trump said. “Now, saying that, I don’t want your audience to get nervous. They’re going to make a deal, because they have to. They have to. They have no choice.”

At Davos this year, President Trump has emphasized a message of optimism about the future and confidence in the U.S. economy. He has said the world should look to the U.S. as a model for economic success through focussing on policies that benefit its own citizens and workers.

Trump said that he has turned his attention to trade with Europe now that his administration has succeeded in getting in place both the phase one trade deal with China and the U.S. Mexico Canada Agreement.

Aren’t most of their cars assembled here already (Mercedes-Benz, BMW), and is Chrysler-Fiat-Peugeot-Pissant considered U.S. or EU?
