Trump, in a Truth Social post, said that he told the European Union that if it doesn't begin to import more U.S. oil and gas, it will be faced with tariffs under his upcoming presidency.
"I told the European Union that they must make up their tremendous deficit with the United States by the large scale purchase of our oil and gas," Trump wrote. "Otherwise, it is TARIFFS all the way!!!"
Trump's latest tariff threat comes amid a number of warnings against several countries, including China, Mexico, and Canada, if they don't act to secure the border and stop drug trafficking.
Trump has reportedly engaged in "very productive" conversations with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau since threatening a new tax.
Trump then suggested to Trudeau that Canada become the 51st state, which, according to sources, reportedly caused the prime minister and others to laugh nervously.
