On Tuesday, President Trump was asked about the agreement who agreed with handshakes with the president of the commission Ursula von der Leyen In Scotland, July 27 at the CNBC show “Squawk Box” by phone.

He advertised a position in the United States, about which he reported that by the end of the second term in the United States in the United States, the transaction includes the EU promise to invest $ 600 billion.

“These new investments are added to more than $ 100 billion (where) EU companies are already investing in the United States every year,” the news said after the transaction.

The European Commission cannot develop and introduce investments on behalf of the private sector. The commission was described in $ 600 billion as an indication based on the contacts of executive directors with the industry.

“This is not that the EU, as a state body, can guarantee – this is what is based on the intention of private companies,” said a senior official last week.

To the question in the box “squire”, what problems can exist in the element of the investment promise of the transaction, Trump said that if this does not happen, “then they will pay 35%.”

Trump said that the promise of investments was one of the reasons why it reduced the duties to 15%of the total rate, therefore, if he was not respected, then the highest duties will return.
