Trump on tariffs in press conference with Sweden's Lofven

  • If we make a NAFTA deal with Canada and Mexico, there will be no tariffs for them
  • Other countries don't have the same options as Mexico and Canada
  • When we have a trade deficit, we don't lose trade wars
  • Reiterates threat of tariffs on European autos
  • China trans ship steel to US through other countries
  • Steel is about defense. Without a steel industry, you don't have a country
  • Hopes North Korea is sincere in willingness to talk, partly because of sanctions

Lofven:

  • Important that US and EU find a way to cooperate on trade
