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."

"The EU keeps saying I'm stupid and I don't like it. China never said I'm stupid. Russia never said I'm stupid. At least, not to my face."

What? Those Chinese embassy posts couldn't have been more direct in calling America stupid.

Or maybe he dissociates himself from the country despite being the president?
