Trump says Canada becoming EU ‘associate member’ could be ‘hostile act’
The US president threatened heavy tariffs and said the US could cut some trade with Europe over the proposed status.
Speaking to reporters in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Wednesday, Trump said his response would depend on what European leaders were trying to achieve.
“If it’s a good intention, that’s fine. If it’s a bad intention, we’ll put very heavy tariffs,” Trump said. He also suggested the US could stop trading with Europe “on many things”.
[Pause. Why don't you just stop trading with the EU and Canada? That would make the U.S. billions of dollars, right? Unpause.]
