Trade War Surrender! Trump Brings E.U. to Its Knees

RUSH: So we have the trade wars: The Drive-Bys are refusing to credit President Trump for bringing the European Union to its knees. And now it’s on to the ChiComs, it’s on to Mexico, it’s on to Canada, and all of these are going to happen. And it’s all according to plan. If you’re gonna do tariffs, you do it when your economy is roaring, and ours is. And what Trump said he wanted, no tariffs, no taxes, no barriers.

RUSH: So we have the trade wars: The Drive-Bys are refusing to credit President Trump for bringing the European Union to its knees. And now it’s on to the ChiComs, it’s on to Mexico, it’s on to Canada, and all of these are going to happen. And it’s all according to plan. If you’re gonna do tariffs, you do it when your economy is roaring, and ours is. And what Trump said he wanted, no tariffs, no taxes, no barriers.

And Trump said (paraphrasing), “I’ll tell you what we’re looking for. Down the road, we want no barriers, we want no tariffs. I hate tariffs. I don’t want tariffs anywhere. But we’re the ones paying ’em. The United States has been facing tariffs worldwide. I’m not imposing tariffs on anybody. I’m reciprocating.”

And he is and has been. China has been placing tariffs, not us.

the European Union came home yesterday. They acknowledged they want to get to where Trump is demanding we all get. You can’t get more fair than no tariffs. You can’t get a more level playing field than no taxes. And this is what Trump wants all over the world, by the way. And he’s handling every situation independently piece by piece. European Union, pretty much done. NAFTA, redoing NAFTA, almost done.

This new president of Mexico has appointed a new negotiator who sees it Trump’s way. Mexican president, similar personality to Trump, wants to work with him, get it done. This Macron — it is not Macron. The Canadian. What’s his name? I’m having a mental block. Who’s the little guy running — whatever, Trump can handle this guy in his sleep. And that’s gonna get done. I don’t mean that in an insulting way. I’m just saying that Trump is going to be able to get this done.

China has just begun negotiating. Larry Kudlow sent the ChiComs a message at the Seeking Alpha conference, and he said what is true, that the rest of the world needs us. The rest of the world cannot survive without you. You are the United States market. And the United States market is the market that makes the world go round.
