Trump steps up war of words on trade with threat to tax EU cars

US President Donald Trump has stepped up his war of words over trade tariffs, threatening to "apply a tax" on imports of cars from the European Union.

Mr Trump said other countries had taken advantage of the US for years because of its "very stupid" trade deals.
The trade wrangle began on Thursday when Mr Trump vowed to impose hefty tariffs on steel and aluminium imports.
That brought a stiff response from trading partners and criticism from the IMF and WTO.
