This video features a discussion with a public figure, identified as “Mr. President,” about his stance on the European Union and trade negotiations.
Some of the key points discussed include:
- Perceived unfair treatment: The president expresses the view that the EU has “treated us very badly” over the years and was formed to “take advantage of the United States.”
-
Trade deficit and tariffs: He mentions a large trade deficit with the EU, specifically citing the sale of European cars like Mercedes, BMW, and Volkswagen in the US. He also mentions a 50% tariff, but clarifies that it would not apply if European companies build their plants in the U.S. instead of sending products in.
-
Negotiation status: He states that the negotiations are “going nowhere” and that he is “not looking for a deal,” as the tariff has already been set.
