Donald Trump has threatened to impose 25% tariffs on EU imports, accusing the bloc of being created to screw the United States.

Axar.az reports that speaking during his first cabinet meeting of his second term on Wednesday—where billionaire Elon Musk also made an appearance—Trump reiterated his stance on trade.

“Let’s be honest, the European Union was formed in order to screw the United States. That’s the purpose of it. And they’ve done a good job of it.”

He stated that a decision had been made and would be announced soon. "Generally speaking, it will be 25%, applying to cars and various other goods," he said.
