(5MinNewsBreak.com) – President Donald Trump is taking bold action against the European Union for its evident efforts to “screw” and take advantage of the United States.
Specifically, the president announced plans to impose a 25% tariff on imports from the bloc after declaring the EU was specifically “formed to screw the United States.”
He promised swift action to remedy decades of trade imbalances that have disadvantaged American workers and industries.
The president’s decisive move signals his renewed commitment to putting America first in global trade relationships.
President Trump made his intentions clear regarding the upcoming tariffs that will target European cars and other products.
“It’ll be 25%, generally speaking, and that’ll be on cars and all other things,” the president stated.
His announcement comes amid glaring trade disparities: the EU currently imposes a 10% tariff on US vehicle imports, while the US only charges 2.5% on European passenger cars.
The president did not mince words about what he sees as the true purpose of the European Union.
“Look, let’s be honest, the European Union was formed in order to screw the United States. That’s the purpose of it, and they’ve done a good job of it. But now I’m president,” President Trump declared.
This bold stance on tariffs aligns with his America First policy, which prioritizes US economic interests above international relationships that do not benefit American workers.
While critics worry about potential trade wars, supporters view these measures as necessary to level the playing field after decades of unfair treatment.
The EU has openly admitted it will “react firmly and immediately” to what it calls “unjustified barriers to free and fair trade,” revealing how threatened it feels by President Trump’s America-first approach.
The president highlighted the current trade imbalance where the EU refuses American cars and farm products while the US accepts European goods.
This uneven relationship has contributed to the manufacturing decline in states like Michigan – something the president aims to reverse.
The European Commission has predictably pushed back, claiming: “The European Union is the world’s largest free market. And it has been a boon for the United States.”
However, this statement contradicts the reality of millions of American workers who have seen their jobs shipped overseas while foreign-made products flood US markets.
The EU’s claim that “U.S. investments in Europe are highly profitable” only reinforces President Trump’s point that the current arrangement mainly benefits multinational corporations at the expense of American workers.
The president’s tariff strategy extends beyond Europe, with similar 25% tariffs planned for Canada and Mexico, America’s two largest trading partners.
These measures demonstrate President Trump’s commitment to restructuring all trade relationships that disadvantage American industries.
While economists tied to globalist interests warn of potential price increases, Trump supporters stand for reclaiming American manufacturing supremacy.
Advocates also seek the return of thousands of well-paying jobs that have disappeared over decades of unfair trade deals.
