EU'RE FIRED!

Donald Trump fires warning to ‘brutal’ EU for being ‘tough’ on UK saying: ‘It will come back to bite you’

The US President threatened to impose tough conditions on Brussels during trade talks

DONALD Trump last night blamed the "brutal" EU for Britain's Brexit chaos - and warned Brussels it will backfire.

The US President claimed Europe has been too "tough" on the UK by refusing to change the Brexit deal.

He also hit out at European leaders' attitude to trade with America.

Mr Trump suggested the bloc's uncompromising attitude would end up rebounding on them.

The President tweeted late last night: "Too bad that the European Union is being so tough on the United Kingdom and Brexit.

"The E.U. is likewise a brutal trading partner with the United States, which will change.

"Sometimes in life you have to let people breathe before it all comes back to bite you!"

Last night the EU offered Theresa May a six-month delay to Brexit after she requested a delay lasting ten weeks.

Brussels bosses repeated that the current withdrawal agreement can't be changed - meaning the hated Irish backstop will stay in the deal whatever happens.

Mr Trump has blasted Europe for allegedly treating the US unfairly in trade arrangements.

He has unveiled plans to slap massive tariffs on a number of EU exports to America as part of his global trading war.
