The European Union on Thursday pushed back hard against allegations by U.S. President Donald Trump that the 27-nation bloc was out to get the United States, and warned that it would vigorously fight any wholesale tariff of 25% on all EU products.

He said the EU has taken advantage of the U.S., adding, "They don't accept our cars. They don't accept, essentially, our farm products and we accept everything of them.” The announcement comes as Trump continues to threaten tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada,
