Trump says Sunday on Twitter that the U.S. is “insisting” that countries remove “artificial” trade barriers and tariffs on U.S. imports to their countries “or be met with more than Reciprocity by the U.S.A.” He says “Trade must be fair and no longer a one way street!”
Trump already has strained relationships with North American and European allies by imposing tariffs on steel, aluminum and other products from those countries.
At the conclusion of a meeting of the world’s leading economies last month, Trump told reporters that he had pressed for fair and reciprocal trade practices. He said he had also urged his foreign counterparts to remove all tariffs, trade barriers and subsidies from their trading practices.
Mr. President: Life is not a one way street. Thins work two ways. You have to learn to work with other world leaders. If you do not we will be the losers, not they! Right now we are already beginning to lose!! Why don’t you sit down and check every single industry! Make a list of them! Then add them up!! You will find that the EU and Canada and China and Mexico are in the lead. We are LAST!!
