Trump warns of 'big retaliation' if Europeans dump US Treasuries

President Donald Trump warned Thursday of major reprisals if European countries dumped key holdings of U.S. Treasury bonds to pressure Washington.

"If that would happen, there would be a big retaliation on our part, and we have all the cards," Trump said on Fox Business Network's "Mornings with Maria."
