'Whatever they charge us, we're charging them': Trump doubles down on tariffs - MSNBC

[Rhiannon12866]

Trump threatened to impose more retaliatory tariffs on the European Union after the bloc said it would implement tariffs on the U.S. next month in response to tariffs on steel and aluminum by the Trump administration.

"The European Union treats us very badly. They have for years," Trump said in remarks to reporters while sitting in the Oval Office with Taoiseach of Ireland Micheál Martin. "I had it out with them in my first term. ... The European Union has been very tough, and it’s our turn, too. You know, we get a turn at that also, but they have not been fair. They sue our companies and win massive amounts of money." - Aired on 03/12/2025.

3. Serial liar does what he does best and then

Acts. However stupid they will be we will be three times more stupid. Because I know how to negotiate. I’ll save the veterans by closing VA hospitals. I’ll feed old people by defunding meals on wheels. I’ll improve our health by not stopping measles. I have a mandate because more people voted against me then voted for me.

4. Well, that's sure not going to end well.

Each side matching every increase in tariffs.
Sounds like trade will just come to a screeching halt while prices go into insane levels.

9. "They sue our companies and win massive amounts of money."

I wonder why that is? Could it be that "our" companies are doing something that they shouldn't be doing so they are subsequently found liable by the courts?
