Trump has helped drive an escalating trade war with some of the United States's closest longtime trade allies since his announcement last month that the U.S. would impose stiff tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from the European Union, Canada and Mexico.

Following the announcement, the U.S. was hit with retaliatory tariffs from those countries on a number of products like motorcycles and blue jeans.

Two American motorcycle companies — Harley-Davidson and Polaris — have since said they might be forced to move some production overseas due to the tariffs.

Trump is scheduled to meet with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker next month amid the trade feud.

Scaramucci, who left his role as White House communications director in July 2017, has defended Trump’s record since leaving the administration.

He slammed Trump recently, however, for the “inhumane” and “cruel” "zero tolerance" immigration policy that led to the separation of more than 2,000 migrant children from their parents upon being apprehended at the U.S.–Mexico border.
