The new 15% tariff trade deal between Washington and the European Union announced on Sunday has “squashed Europe” which is “totally humiliating.”
The Russian Security Council deputy chairman Dmitry Medvedev said that Europeans should “probably be storming Brussels” to “hang all EU commissioners.”
Taking aim at the European Commission president Ursula von Leyen Medvedev called her a “crazy old witch.”
Medvedev said, “[US President Donald] Trump has squashed Europe,” he wrote on Telegram. The new ‘deal’ with the European Union is a) totally humiliating for the Europeans as it only serves the United States by leaving the European market unprotected and zeroing out tariffs on US goods; b) creates huge additional costs for industries and agriculture in many EU countries stemming from the need to pay for expensive US energy; and c) diverts a massive investment flow from Europe to the US.”
He added that common Europeans “should probably be storming Brussels now in order to hang all EU commissioners, including crazy old witch Ursula (von der Leyen.”
“It wouldn’t help matters but at least it would be fun,” he added.
Tass reported that Medvedev said that the US President Donald Trump is inconsistent, however he is consistent with one thing, he “aggressively advances his country’s economic interests.
Finally, the deal is clearly aimed against Russia, as it bans Russian oil and gas purchases.
“However, while for Trump, it is largely about business, for the mad old wench Europe, it is part of its neo-Nazi ideas, which is harmful to the well-being of its own citizens.”
