EU tariffs `pretty soon` but UK can be worked out: Trump

US President Donald Trump has hinted the European Union (EU) could be next to face tariffs, after he slapped 25% levies on goods from Mexico and Canada, and an additional 10% tax on imports from China, reports BBC.

While arriving into Maryland from Florida, Trump told the BBC that tariffs on EU goods imported into the US could happen "pretty soon".

"They don't take our cars, they don't take our farm products, they take almost nothing and we take everything from them. Millions of cars, tremendous amounts of food and farm products," he told journalists.

The US President added he enjoyed good relations with British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, and that trade issues with the UK could be worked out.

When asked by the BBC if there was a timeline for announcing tariffs on the European bloc, Trump said: "I wouldn't say there's a timeline, but it's going to be pretty soon."

For its part, the 27-member bloc has condemned Trump's decision to move ahead with tariffs against Canada, Mexico and China, and warned that it will "respond firmly" if it also becomes a target.

Mexico and Canada have vowed to take retaliatory measures, while China said it could take "corresponding counter measures".

On trade with the UK, the US President said the country has been "out of line" but added that the issues could be resolved._Agencies.
