Trump launches blistering new trade attack against Brussels, as he agrees to cool tariff war with Beijing.

Donald Trump said Monday that the European Union is worse than China, hours after Washington and Beijing agreed to slash respective punitive tariffs and de-escalate their trade war.

“European Union is in many ways nastier than China, okay?” Trump said, as he lashed the bloc. “Oh, they’ll come down a lot. You watch. We have all the cards. They treat us very unfairly.”

Despite several attempts at negotiating with Washington to remove Trump’s tariffs on European goods, the EU has yet to achieve a breakthrough.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy…
