Trump defends trade strategy ahead of EU chief visit
US President Donald Trump today defended his trade strategy, insisting that imposing tariffs forces other countries to negotiate with Washington.
"Tariffs are the greatest! Either a country which has treated the United States unfairly on Trade negotiates a fair deal, or it gets hit with tariffs," he said on Twitter, ahead of the European Commission chief's US visit to prevent an all-out trade war.
"It's as simple as that -- and everybody's talking! Remember, we are the 'piggy bank' that's being robbed. All will be Great!"
In a separate tweet he claimed that "countries that have treated us unfairly on trade for years are all coming to Washington to negotiate."
