U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday that the European Union is worse than China, hours after Washington and Beijing agreed to slash respective punitive tariffs and de-escalate their trade war.

"European Union is in many ways nastier than China, okay?" Trump said, as he lashed the bloc. "Oh, they'll come down a lot. You watch. We have all the cards. They treat us very unfairly."

Honestly we'd give you Hungary if you pinky Promis that you also keep the whacko's on your side of the pond so they don't come here. Heck we could even throw in a couple of white large eggs.
