Vladimir Putin Says Europe Will ‘Stand at the Feet of the Master’

Putin praised President Donald Trump's tariffs

Russian leader Vladimir Putin warned Europe will quickly “stand at the feet of the master" after U.S. President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China, provoking a global markets meltdown and alarm among European allies.

Commenting on Trump's decision at the weekend to impose trade duties on America's closest allies and trading partners, the Kremlin on Monday said it was watching on as "tensions" build between the U.S. and its allies.
