Donald Trump Declares The European Union A 'Foe'
After a tumultuous NATO summit last week and massive protests against him in the U.K., President Donald Trump kept up his hyperbolic criticism of longstanding U.S. allies during an interview with “CBS Evening News.”
In an interview excerpt airing on the network’s “Face The Nation” program on Sunday, Trump declared that he views the European Union as an enemy to the U.S.
CBS anchorman Jeff Glor had asked the president who he thought was the nation’s “biggest competitor” or “biggest foe.” Trump named the E.U. first.
“I think the European Union is a foe,” Trump said. “What they do to us in trade. Now you wouldn’t think of the European Union, but they’re a foe.”
Trump added others to his list, but in milder terms.
