President Donald Trump left leaders at G7 Summit angry after he refused to sign the joint statement of world leaders, and accused the European Union for treating the US as its own “piggy bank.”

Drew Liquerman, a Republicans Overseas Spokesperson told BBC Daily Politics’ presenter Jo Coburn: “I think this is the only language the European Union will understand.

“I mean we had Obama for the last eight years also threatening tariffs. These trade disputes have been going on for quite some time.

“I think there is quite a difference between all the partners. I mean we have China where this is completely different because tariffs are a national security issue.

“We have companies like Huawei that pose an actual espionage risk but in the European Union it is not the same risk.”

Earlier this year, the US imposed a 25% tariff for steel and 10% for aluminium on imports from the EU, Canada, and Mexico.

The EU then announced tariffs on US goods ranging from Harley-Davidson motorcycles to bourbon.

Tom Tugendhat a Conservative MP for Tonbridge and Malling said: “What is slightly surprising when you see this is that there is this idea that there is a security risk with Canada. It is frankly absurd.

“The idea that there is a security risk when in fact it is the UK that makes the steel that goes into American rocketry and American shipping.

“It is really somewhat strange because actually we are not a security risk, we are part of the US security infrastructure. So it is even more unusual.
