American President Donald Trump has said on Monday that the E.U has been treating the United States of America badly, with its incredibly difficult imposed barriers on US goods. 
“Europe has been treating us very badly,” Donald Trump said at a White House event with US state governors.
After reaching a series of trade deals with Canada, Mexico and Japan and a phase-one agreement with China, Trump said, “The next thing could be Europe, where we talk to them very seriously”.
Relations between the two major economies have lingered for months in a tense truce. Trump has imposed punishing tariffs on EU goods like French wine in a dispute over Airbus and other goods in a confrontation over tax on digital giants like Google and Amazon.
But so far, he has held off on threatened punitive duties on European cars aimed at forcing a change in trade policy. Trump reached a ceasefire with the EU in mid-2018, when the sides agreed to pursue negotiations, talks that so far have not resulted in anything concrete.

Donald Trump said he focused first on the dispute with China and renegotiating the continental free trade pact with Canada and Mexico because he “didn’t want to do the whole world at one time”.
But on Monday, he renewed his complaints about EU trade policy, even claiming improbably that the economic bloc “was really formed so they could treat us badly.”
“They have barriers that are incredible,” Trump said, adding, “They’re ready for a deal”.
