Trump: EU created to 'treat us badly'
By EUobserver
US president Donald Trump on Monday lashed out at the EU when asked about trade. "Europe has been treating us really badly. The European Union was really formed so they could treat us badly," Trump said. According to the European Commission, the EU was in fact set up in the aftermath of WWII with the aim of ending internal conflict, easing trade, and creating a community with greater freedoms.
