Trump is at odds with the European Union again.

Smut ar Trump leis an Aontas Eorpach arís.

US President Donald Trump is threatening to impose 50% tariffs on certain goods from the European Union from the beginning of next month.

Tá Uachtarán na Stát Aontaithe Donald Trump ag bagairt taraifí de 50 faoin gcéad a ghearradh ar earraí áirithe ón Aontas Eorpach ó thús na míosa seo chugainn.

Trump seems to have made this latest threat with a touch of impatience.

Is cosúil gur le teann mífhoighne atá an bhagairt is deireanaí seo déanta ag Trump.

In a statement he published on his own social media, he indicated that no progress was being made in the trade talks underway between the United States and the European Union and he blamed the Europeans for this.

I ráiteas a d’fhoilsigh sé ar a mheán sóisialta féin, thug sé le fios nach raibh aon dul chun cinn á dhéanamh sna cainteanna trádála atá ar bun idir na Stáit Aontaithe agus an tAontas Eorpach agus chuir sé an milleán faoi sin ar na hEorpaigh.

He believes that Europeans are a very contradictory group when it comes to bargaining and he claimed that the European Union was first founded to take on the United States.

Dar leis gur dream an-chonróideach na hEorpaigh ó thaobh margála de agus mhaígh sé gur le teacht i dtír ar na Stáit Aontaithe a bunaíodh an tAontas Eorpach a chéaduair.

In light of this, he said, he intends to impose tariffs of 50% on luxury goods, pharmaceutical products and many other goods from the European Union from June 1.

Ina fhianaise sin, arsa sé, tá sé ar intinn aige taraifí de 50 faoin gcéad a ghearradh ar shó-earraí, ar tháirgí cógaisíochta agus ar roinnt mhaith earraí eile ón Aontas Eorpach ón 1 Meitheamh.

He also threatened to impose a 25% tariff on Apple smartphones made outside the United States.

Bhagair sé freisin taraif de 25 faoin gcéad a ghearradh ar fhóin chliste Apple a dhéantar taobh amuigh de na Stáit Aontaithe.

60 million Apple smartphones are sold in the United States each year, but they are all made in other countries.

Díoltar 60 millliún fón cliste Apple sna Stáit Aontaithe gach bliain ach is i dtíortha eile a dhéantar iad ar fad.
