PoliticsTrump threatens EU with ‘serious tariffs’ over proposal to make Canada first associate member

Donald Trump threatened “very serious tariffs” or an end to trade with Europe after the EU proposed making Canada its first associate member. Calling the idea “laughable” and potentially a “hostile act”, he said the response would depend on whether the move had good or bad intentions. Ursula von der Leyen said the partnership was intended to strengthen the EU, not target anyone.
