, did he expect 0 fight back from the EU?
They need us a lot more than we need them.
This from his commerce secretary, it's like they are baffled the EU put tariffs on US goods
"The US commerce secretary says the EU's move to raise tariffs in response to America's own tariffs is "disrespectful".
Speaking to Bloomberg, Howard Lutnick says: "The president has made it crystal clear that he finds this tit-for-tat really abusive and aggravating.
"His objective is steel and aluminium tariffs. Let him build his steel and aluminium business in America, because that's important."
Addressing the EU response, he adds: "I find all this back-and-forth really off the topic. The key topic is rebalancing American trade."
He says the president was "totally annoyed" at the Europeans.
"Why are Europeans picking on Kentucky bourbon or Harley-Davidson motorcycles? It's disrespectful," Lutnick says.
Asked about the prospect of Trump threatening his own tit-for-tat 200% tariffs on European alcohol, Lutnick says Trump makes the final decisions.
"He wants these countries to respect him. And all this showed you is that Europe and Canada do not respect Donald Trump and do not respect America's ability to build its steel and aluminium industry, which is vital for national security ," he says."
