The US is facing a trade war with China and a potential trade war with Europe. 

Donald Trump's threatening to raise tariffs on Chinese goods to more than 100% in response to the retaliatory tariffs announced by China over the weekend. 

The EU is still mulling over its response. 

Paris Correspondent Catherine Field told Mike Hosking in the past few hours, the EU's revealed it offered the US a "zero-for-zero" tariff deal in February and never heard back. 

She says the EU is still leaving that on the table but are now looking at some sort of retaliation.
