EU was created to rip US off, Trump says as allies brace for trade war

The European Union was formed to rip off the US, President Donald Trump said during a rally, as he vowed to “take on” the bloc and China, saying that the days of “disastrous trade deals” are over.  Trump unleashed a tirade aimed at the European Union at a campaign-style rally in Michigan on Saturday.
