'Bizarre nonsense': Trump threatens EU, Mexico with 30 percent tariffs • FRANCE 24 English

Given the short deadline to come up with a deal, Economist John Ashcroft from The Saturday Economist labelled Trump’s latest move as “bizarre nonsense” which is leading to a “chaotic assessment of border policy and the impact on world economy”.
