According to BlockBeats, President Trump stated on May 27th: "I am very happy to impose a 50% tariff on the European Union, especially with their slow negotiations with us."
Remember, I have the authority to set conditions for trade coming into the United States if we cannot reach an agreement or if I am treated unfairly.
I just learned that the European Union has called to schedule a meeting as soon as possible. This is a positive sign. If they do that, both sides will be very happy and successful."
