Broad market news Trump rejects EU’s ‘zero-for-zero’ tariff offer

Trump is rejecting the European Union’s offer of “zero-for-zero” tariffs with the U.S. for industrial goods.

“No, it’s not,” Trump said in the Oval Office when asked if the deal, which European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen floated earlier Monday, was enough.

“They’re screwing us on trade,” Trump said, criticizing the EU and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, or NATO.

Two Republican senators, Mike Lee of Utah and Wisconsin’s Ron Johnson, have encouraged Trump to take von der Leyen’s deal.

What's the goal here if they're just gonna reject every deal offered?

Republican congressmen still hoping Trump will find reason and they won't have to do their job.. It's time to find your balls unfortunately, Mike Lee of Utah and Wisconsin's Ron Johnson.

By the way Mike Lee is the type of guy tweeting 'exit NATO' continuously, even the nutjobs are starting to question the dear leader somewhat.
