They stack the deck, he charged:
The EU has utilized, as mentioned, our over $300 billion deficit. They do not import our cars or farm products; they barely import anything, while we import a significant amount from them—millions of cars, large quantities of food and farm products.
The European Union’s actions are highly inappropriate. The UK is also not meeting expectations, but I believe that issue can be resolved. However, the behavior of the European Union is appalling.

Asked about his relationship with the United Kingdom, Trump said he felt he could make a deal:
Prime Minister Keir Starmer has been cordial; we have had a few meetings and numerous phone conversations. Our relationship is positive, and we will see if we can align our budgets accordingly.
With the European Union, it’s a $350 billion deficit, so obviously something’s gonna take place there.
…I wouldn’t say there’s a timeline, but it’s gonna be pretty soon.
