U.S. President Donald Trump warned Thursday that he will impose additional tariffs on the European Union and Canada if they collaborate to "do economic harm" against their "best friend" the United States.

“If the European Union works with Canada in order to do economic harm to the USA, large scale Tariffs, far larger than currently planned, will be placed on them both in order to protect the best friend that each of those two countries has ever had!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform on Thursday.

The warning landed after Trump had already announced plans to impose an additional 25 percent tariff on hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of imported cars and auto parts. The move is set to affect key U.S. trading partners, including Mexico, Canada, South Korea, Japan and Germany.

in reality, he's not. Americans at home too are boycotting tRUMP and the idiot still doesn't seem to know it, seems to only focus on what our overseas partners (former) are doing.

The tRUMP depression is already here...get ready for it...
