“Surrender
Monkey", EU Chief Juncker folds to Trump
Juncker
came to DC and became Trump’s little “surrender monkey.”
26
July, 2018
US
President Donald Trump and European Commission President Jean-Claude
Juncker announced that they have reached an understanding on lowering
barriers between the two sides.
During
his visit to the White House, Juncker appeared to have made several
concessions to POTUS Trump in an effort to avoid a trade war…such
concession include buying more US soybeans and purchasing expensive,
American LNG.
Trump
was firm in his stance on trade with the EU, insisting on reciprocal
trade relations between the two blocks.
“I
came to make a deal, and we made a deal today,” Juncker said
on Wednesday at the White House.
Juncker
confirmed that the EU will build more terminals in order to import
liquid natural gas (LNG) from the US. LNG has to be delivered by ship
to specialized facilities, unlike the natural gas currently being
delivered to Europe from Russia.
Trump
stated that the EU will be buying “a lot more” soybeans
from the United States, and that Brussels and Washington will work to
eliminate tariffs, barriers and subsidies on “non-auto
industrial goods.”
In
short, Juncker came to the White House and completely folded to
Trump’s demands. As RT’s Max Keiser so aptly puts it in the video
clip below…Juncker
came to DC and became a “surrender monkey.
