President
Donald Trump said Monday that the European Union is "nastier than China" on trade.
Trump made the
comments at the White House while also announcing an executive
order targeting reducing prescription drug costs. His remarks also came hours
after the U.S. and China announced a de-escalation of their tit-for-tat tariffs
and a 90-day period to hammer out a trade deal.
"European
Union is in many ways nastier than China, OK?" Trump said. "And we've
just started with them. Oh, they'll come down a lot. You watch. We have all the
cards. They treated us very unfairly."
U.S.
exporters sent nearly $1 trillion of trade to the EU last year, more than twice
what went to China, according to Axios.
The
European Commission, the executive arm of the EU, last week announced a list of
American products that could be targeted for tariffs worth more than $107
billion if trade talks with the Trump administration fail.
The
EU's list included aircraft, cars, chemicals and plastics, agricultural
products, and American spirits such as whiskey. The commission's proposed list
totals $107.4 billion in countermeasures to Trump's tariffs on the EU.
"The
EU remains fully committed to finding negotiated outcomes with the U.S.,"
commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in
a statement. "At the same time, we continue preparing for
all possibilities."
The commission
said it will consult with member states before completing the
list. The commission's announcement came the same day as Trump's announcement of
a trade deal with the U.K.
In
Monday's executive order, Trump set a 30-day deadline for drugmakers to lower
the cost of prescription drugs and called on the Department of Health and Human
Services, led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., to broker new prices.
If a
deal isn't reached, a new rule will kick in that will tie the price of what the
U.S. pays for medications to lower prices paid by other countries.
"Europe's
going to have to pay a little bit more. The rest of the world is going to have
to pay a little bit more," Trump said Monday. "And America is going
to pay a lot less."
