Trump: Very satisfied with imposing a 50% tariff on the EU

ChainCatcher message, U.S. President Trump said: "I am very pleased with the 50% tariffs on the EU, especially considering that they have been 'dragging their feet' in negotiations with us. Remember, if we cannot reach an agreement or are treated unfairly, I have the right to 'set conditions' for trade entering the U.S. I just learned that the EU has called for a meeting date to be set soon. This is a positive sign. If they do, both sides will be very happy and successful."
