Trump tells EU to buy more American-made oil and gas or face ‘tariffs all the way’

President-elect Donald Trump has once again made headlines with his latest threat of imposing tariffs on a bloc of countries, including the European Union, as part of his plan to boost oil and gas production in the United States. In a recent post on Truth Social, Trump warned the EU that if they do not increase their imports of American oil and gas, they will face tariffs under his upcoming presidency.

Throughout his presidential campaign, Trump has been vocal about his commitment to enhancing energy dominance by ramping up the production of domestically-produced oil and natural gas. He has specifically mentioned plans to expand fracking and lift President Joe Biden’s pause on new liquefied natural gas (LNG) export permits.

In addition to targeting the EU, Trump has also issued warnings to other countries, including China, Mexico, and Canada, regarding the need to secure borders and combat drug trafficking. Trump threatened to impose 25% tariffs on all Canadian and Mexican exports unless they take action to address these issues.

Following Trump’s proposed tariff against Canada, Ontario Premier Doug Ford retaliated by threatening to cut off energy and critical mineral exports to the U.S. However, Trump remained undeterred by the threat, stating that it would be acceptable if Ford followed through on his ultimatum.

Despite the tensions surrounding the tariff issue, Trump reportedly had “very productive” conversations with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. During a meeting at Mar-a-Lago, Trudeau expressed concerns that the tariff would have devastating effects on the Canadian economy. In response, Trump humorously suggested that Canada could become the 51st state, eliciting a nervous laugh from Trudeau and others present.

As the incoming president continues to navigate complex international relations and trade negotiations, his bold stance on tariffs and energy production has sparked both praise and concern among Americans. With Trump set to take office soon, his approach to foreign policy and economic issues is sure to remain in the spotlight.
