Scott Bessent on Tariffs: The EU Is Making Very Good Progress, They Were Off to a Slow Start

RUSH EXCERPT:
BESSENT: "Sure. The playbook is to apply maximum pressure. We saw that the EU was very slow in coming to the table three weeks ago, on a Friday morning, President Trump threatened 50% tariffs and within a few hours, five of the European national leaders had called him and Ursula von der Leyen, the head of the EU, was on the phone. And the EU is making very good progress. They were off to a slow start."
