More on Trump's interview with Piers Morgan.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.Disagreements over trade between the EU and the US could escalate, [Trump] warned.
Trump said: "It's a very unfair situation. We cannot get our product in. It's very, very tough. And yet they send their product to us – no taxes, very little taxes, it's very unfair.
"I've had a lot of problems with the European Union and it may morph into something very big from that standpoint, from a trade standpoint.
"The European Union treated the United States very unfairly when it came to trade.
"They're not the only ones, by the way. I could name many countries and places that do. But the European Union has been very very unfair to the United States and I think it'll turn out to be very much to their detriment."
But Europe warned of a "robust response" if there were a trade war.
A spokesperson in Brussels said: "For us, trade policy is not a zero-sum game, it is not about winners and losers. We in the European Union believe that trade can and should be win-win.
"We also believe that while trade has to be open and fair it has also to be rules-based. The European Union stands ready to react swiftly and appropriately in case our exports are affected by any restrictive trade measures from the United States."
