Trump tells EU to boost US energy imports or face tariffs
US President-elect Donald Trump has threatened the EU with new tariffs unless the bloc imports more American oil and gas.
"I told the European Union that they must make up their tremendous deficit with the United States by the large scale purchase of our oil and gas," Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform on Friday.
"Otherwise, it is TARIFFS all the way!!!"
According to US government data, the EU is already the biggest buyer of US energy exports.
Trump's plans for tariffs
Trump has pledged to impose hefty tariffs on three of the United States' largest trading partners — Canada, Mexico and China — when he takes office on January 20. Such a wide-ranging move could have major implications for the global economy.
