Trump is “Very Confident” on Trade Deal With Europe
President Donald Trump welcomed Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni to the White House on Thursday, expressing optimism about reaching a trade agreement with the European Union despite an ongoing tariff standoff.
Greeting Meloni outside the White House at noon, Trump said he is “very confident” that a deal with the EU can be reached. The meeting comes as part of a busy week of diplomatic engagements for the president, who also met with Japanese officials and held talks with Mexican President-elect Claudia Sheinbaum.
In a social media post Thursday morning, Trump claimed that “every nation” wants to negotiate on tariffs, including China—though he acknowledged that Beijing has yet to signal any intent to enter discussions.
Tensions escalated further when Trump turned his criticism toward Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. Following Powell’s remarks that Trump’s tariff policies could lead to higher inflation and slower economic growth, Trump called for Powell’s removal, saying his “termination cannot come fast enough.”
