President Trump on Wednesday declared a \u201cnew phase\u201d in the relationship between the U.S. and the European Union, agreeing to hold off on proposed car tariffs and work with the EU to resolve their dispute over metals duties, while also promoting bilateral trade.<\/p>\n

Speaking in the Rose Garden of the White House alongside European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, Mr. Trump said the U.S. and the EU had agreed to \u201cwork together toward zero tariffs, zero non-tariff barriers and zero subsidies on non auto-industrial goods.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was a very big day for free and fair trade,\u201d Mr. Trump said. He said the U.S. and EU would \u201cresolve\u201d the steel and aluminum tariffs he imposed earlier this year and the retaliatory tariffs the EU imposed in response.<\/p>\n

He said the EU had agreed \u201calmost immediately\u201d begin buying more U.S. soybeans and that the European bloc had agreed to increase LNG exports<\/em> [imports?] from the U.S. The EU will be a \u201cmassive buyer\u201d of LNG, Mr. Trump said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had the intention to make a deal today,\u201d said Mr. Juncker. \u201cAnd we made a deal today. \u201c<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Lie When It’s Serious<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

Ahead of the meeting, Juncker said it was not his intent to work out a deal. Now he says it was his intention all along.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

In case you forgot, please consider the most honest thing Juncker ever said: \u201cWhen it becomes serious you have to lie<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

So, is Juncker lying today or was he lying two days ago?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
