Tusk hits back at Trump on trade
By EUobserver
EU council president Donald Tusk hit back Wednesday at US president Donald Trump, saying trade wars were both bad and easy to lose. Trump plans new tariffs on steel and aluminium, and recently said trade wars are good and easy to win. "But the truth is quite the opposite," Tusk retorted, and called on EU leaders to hold a trade discussion at their March summit to "keep world trade alive".
