From making the false claim that the EU was set up to "screw" the United States, to slapping tariffs on European goods, to making territorial claims on Greenland, to doing a diesel deal with Vladimir Putin and telling Ukraine to get a new president, Donald Trump has more than ruffled feathers on this side of the ocean.
