Trump threatened the EU with fees for refusing to conduct trade negotiations

“They want to talk with us, but if they do not, then we will take measures that are serious enough from an economic point of view, we will impose duties on many goods, because agreements with the EU are very unfair,” he said during a meeting with the Prime Irish Minister Leo Varadkar.

Earlier, Trump said his administration was ready to negotiate a major trade deal with the UK.

Expert Vladimir Vasilyev, in an interview with the publication “PolitEkspert” commented on Trump's statement that the United States will delay the increase in duties on Chinese products scheduled for March 1.
