Trump Mocked For Calling the European Union a 'Country' in Tariff Threat: 'No Geographical Skills at All'

President Donald Trump is being mocked by social media users after he referred to the European Union as a country in a post online.

The president took to his social media app, Truth Social, on Thursday to express his willingness to implement tariffs against Canada and the European Union.

"If the European Union works with Canada in order to do economic harm to the USA, large scale Tariffs, far larger than currently planned, will be placed on them both in order to protect the best friend that each of those two countries has ever had!" Trump wrote.

While Trump referred to the European Union as a country, it is actually a supranational collective of 27 different countries. Several users did not hesitate to point out the blunder.

"Dear Americans, your leader thinks that the EU is a country!! Now, how many of you believe him?" said one user.

"Could an adult intervene here?" another said.

"For extra stupid Donald, the EU and Canada are now adding tariffs to the same extent on the USA!" wrote one user.

"Someone buy that man a map," another said.

"Dude has no geographical skills at all. All this time he been bragging about Greenland he was probably talking about Alaska," one user joked.

Other users expressed concern at the fact that the 47th president has threatened to levy tariffs against the US's biggest trade partners, threatening to undermine some of the world's largest trade relationships.

The Trump administration has repeatedly reiterated that tariffs would not act as a tax upon the American consumer and would not result in an increase of prices, despite widespread disagreement from various economists.
