Trump calls for Europe to pay reparations to the US: "We put a big tariff on Europe. They are coming to the table. They want to talk, but there's no talk unless they pay us a lot of money on a yearly basis number one for president but also for past."
It’s a shakedown, pure and simple. The US is supposed to be a winner, but it’s losing and so he needs EU money to not look like a loser.
