am not european but i didn't see anything too surprising in the interview. he said he'd leave the future of our relationship/arms deal with saudi arabia up to congress but doesn't really expect it to end because it'll affect american jobs and the anti-iranian effort. also said that there are very few actual tariffs and the fed is the biggest threat to the economy but that he won't intervene with the fed.
also said that there are very few actual tariffs
he didn't say that, he actually said:
We don’t have tariffs. Where do we have tariffs? I’m talking tariffs. I’ll use tariffs. I mean it. I’ve said I was going to put tariffs on European Union cars, right? They came to my office. We made the concept of a deal. We’ll see what happens. But they agreed to a deal that they wouldn’t even talk about. There’s no tariffs.
edit:
You where also right btw:
I mean, other than some tariffs on steel—which is actually small, what do we have?
Doesnt make the picture better tho:
