Lazy reporting and even lazier editing (The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel edition)

Apparently, Trump has many reporters wrapped around his Twitter finger.

You'll find this background in the 30th paragraph of the article:

Last week, the European Union began rolling out tariffs on American imports including bourbon, peanut butter and orange juice. The EU tariffs on $3.4 billion worth of U.S. products are retaliation for duties Trump has imposed on European steel and aluminum.

Like the Trumpster said, "Trade wars are good and easy to win."
