President Donald Trump on Thursday struck a positive tone on a potential trade deal with the European Union during a meeting at the White House with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, APA reports citing CNN.
“We’ll have a good trade deal,” Trump said.
“I guess that will be mostly determined by the European Union, but you’re a very big part of that, so you’ll be involved,” Trump said to Merz.
Trump’s major tariffs on the EU, including a threatened 50% tariff, have been delayed until July 9. Germany is still impacted by tariffs including Trump’s 25% tariff on autos, which is in effect.
The president said that “hopefully” there will be a trade deal, or the United States will “do the tariffs.”
“I mean, I’m okay with the tariffs, or we make a deal with the trade, and I guess that’s what we’re discussing,” he said.
