President-elect Donald Trump on Friday added the 27 countries that make up the European Union to the list of trade partners he's threatening with tariffs  unless the group takes steps to import more US goods.
I told the European Union that they must make up their tremendous deficit with the United States by the large scale purchase of our oil and gas, Trump posted shortly after 1 a.m. on social media. Otherwise, it is TARIFFS all the way!!!
