President of the European Council Donald Tusk reacted on Sunday evening to statements made by US President Donald Trump, who listed the European Union among the enemies of the US, emphasizing that, quite the opposite, the United States and the European Union are “best friends”.
“I think the European Union is an enemy, because of what they are doing to us in the field of trade,” said President Trump in an interview with the American TV channel CBS.

In his response on Twitter, Donald Trump wrote: “America and the European Union are best friends.” “Whoever says they are enemies is spreading fake news,” emphasized the President of the European Council.
Relations between the US and the European Union have recently soured in the area of trade, after the United States imposed tariffs on aluminum and steel from the European Union.
