President Trump continued to spew insults at Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. He unleashed some tweets after arriving at Singapore for his meeting with Kim Jong-un.
His decision to withdraw from the agreement between the Countries caused backlash at home and in the EU.
Trump claimed that the U.S. was being used as a piggy bank and said this would have to end.
The EU responded in kind as Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel said they would respond in kind to Trump’s assertions.
It was clear that a trade war was imminent if no one was willing to back down.

“We won’t allow ourselves be ripped off again and again. We will act too,” Merkel said.
It was expected that Trump would add new tariffs on German vehicles, so Merkel was planning on dealing with the matter head on.
“We will try to see if we can stop this from happening… And then hopefully the EU will respond again in the same unified way,” Merkel said.
Trump was adamant that the U.S. were on the losing end of the deal between these Countries. He said he was unwilling to continue such an agreement and called out Trudeau who criticized him.
