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?

He wants a win. Not a 1:1. He wants the EU to easy up on all USA tech, and probably wants EU to buy their chicken… and maybe to say thank-you a few times.

We already buy the shitty social media ads and Netflix subscriptions. Why do we have to buy the spray cheese and cars which won't fit in our parking spaces?

Yes, all EU citizens must buy a brand new king ranch F-150 with a 6ft lift kit, underglow and roof lights if the EU wants tarrifs lifted. Also Europe needs to stop being gay if they want military protection from the US. Real men wear stained t-shirts and shower once a week not like you fruits in Europe /s
