U.S. President Donald Trump vowed to hit the European Union with tariffs and said his administration was discussing imposing a 10% tariff on goods imported from China on Feb. 1 because fentanyl is being sent from China to Mexico and Canada.
Trump, speaking to reporters at the White House, said he had already imposed large tariffs on China during his first term. He said the European Union and others also had troubling trade imbalances with the United States.
"The European Union is very, very bad to us," he said, repeating comments made Monday. "So they're going to be in for tariffs. It's the only way ... you're going to get fairness."
