President Trump on Thursday attended a meeting with European Union leaders in Brussels, where he apparently decided to air his grievances over Germany's trade surplus with the U.S. "The Germans are evil, very evil," Trump reportedly complained in the meeting, attendees told German newspaper Der Spiegel. "Look at the millions of cars they sell in the U.S. We'll stop that."

Der Spiegel reported that EU Commission leader Jean-Claude Juncker disagreed with Trump, defending the merits of free trade for the global economy. New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman notes that depending on the translation, Trump may have been calling the Germans merely "very bad" and not "very evil."

European Council President Donald Tusk acknowledged earlier Thursday that there had been some notable differences of opinion between EU leadership and the U.S. government, including on matters of climate politics, trade, and most openly, Russian relations. "I am not 100 percent sure that we can say today ... that we have a common position, common opinion, about Russia," Tusk said.

Just getting Trump to actually attend the meeting with the EU was considered a success, however. Trump did not extend an invitation for EU leaders to visit the White House.

Well they have allowed a massive influx of economic migrants into Europe, threatening the safety of every EU member.

Seems pretty evil to me.

You have a very weird definition of evil. In your mind the right-wing guys are the good guys?

Yeah, the Germans are so evil for... building cars? What monsters.

I just had a random thought that this was a classicly Trump (ie. almost satirically shitty, but not satire) attempt at mending his shattered Israeli reputation, thinking Israel hates Germany for World War 2.

To be fair, it's possible he said "very bad" and the translation is off.

It's still a dumb statement...

The German version of "The Sun" is the Bild. Der Spiegel is more like the Time magazine.

Yes. I should believe a random nobody's friend's right hand instead of actually investigating what it is.

Hell, a simple Google Search:

https://www.goethe.de/en/kul/med/20894053.html

The German flagship of news journalism, Der Spiegel, is a child of the occupation period after the Second World War


https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_Spiegel

Der Spiegel (en alemán, "El Espejo"), es la mayor revista semanal de Europa y la más importante de Alemania.
