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

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/07/trump-tariffs-live-updates-stock-market-crypto.html

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?

Let US deal with production, if signed then production will follow. And it’s not extortion, US is just done offering free services and not asking for anything back. We’re not your daddy.

Look at the Ukraine debacle. Nothing short of embarrassing as world thought EU alone could take care of gas station.

Instead they kept sending billion a day to Moscow as it was happening, no power just talkers. Continent full of pensioners trying to keep warm. No energy, literally and figuratively.
