"They'll make a deal because they have to," said Trump, referring to the European Union. European exports to the United States were significantly larger than American exports to the EU. Trump had a meeting with the EU Commission President in Davos the evening before Met Ursula von der Leyen.

The US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin also used carrot and stick in a panel discussion in Davos with a view to Great Britain, which will levy a tax on digital revenues from social media platforms, search engines and online marketplaces in April, provided the companies' sales exceed 500 Million pounds a year.
