President Donald Trump rejected an offer from the European Union to eliminate tariffs on cars if the U.S. did the same in an interview with Bloomberg on Thursday.

Hours earlier, EU Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom told the European Parliament's trade committee that the EU is "willing to bring down even our car tariffs to zero, all tariffs to zero, if the U.S. does the same."

Trump said that the offer is "not good enough," adding that European "consumer habits are to buy their cars, not to buy our cars."

Currently, the U.S. imposes a 25 percent tariff on light trucks and pickups and 2.5 percent on smaller cars. The EU imposes a 10 percent tariff on all passenger vehicles.

1. drumpfs rejects his own demands.

He says he wants zero tariffs, they give him that and he still says no. This isn't about tariffs, not even a little bit. It's about hurting the people that could slow PUtin's expansionist dreams. It's about killing the west (including us) for PUtin's profits and so donnie can stop PUtin from releasing all his dirt and keep them stealing the office so he can continue to personally wring Americans dry for his and the other oligarchs, profit.
