President Donald Trump addressed the possibility of a ban on U.S. food imports by the European Union while on the runway in Palm Beach on Sunday before he left to attend the Daytona 500.
According to the Irish Star, when asked for his reaction, the Trump offered a short response. This discussion followed the president’s recent signing of a memo, which pledges reciprocal tariffs on both allies and adversaries, in response to what the Trump administration views as unfair and discriminatory trade practices.
“That’s alright. I don’t mind. Let them do it. Let them do it. They’re only hurting themselves if they do that,” Trump said.
He continued: “I can’t imagine it, but it doesn’t matter. We’re having reciprocal tariffs. Whatever they charge we charge — very simple. If a certain country like India, which is very high tariff, if they charge us ‘X’ dollars we charge them ‘X’ dollars. It’s a fair thing to do. Even the media said it was fair. And it’s going to be very good for the United States.”
