Trump calls the European Union “nastier” than China. The EU is taking a deep breath. As U.S. President Donald Trump advances on trade deals with the U.K. and even with arch nemesis China, the European Union is being left out in the cold — laying bare the profound rupture between the once-close allies.

The EU itself is in negotiations with Washington on its own trade deal that would replace 20% across the board tariffs on most EU goods and 25% tariffs on steel and aluminium and cars and car parts.

The European Commission announced Thursday it has compiled a list of imported goods and items from the United States which could become subject to tariffs.
