President told The Wall Street Journal the US currency 'is getting too strong'

European stocks fall after Trump’s dollar comments

European stocks slid Thursday, after President Donald Trump’s comments on the dollar prompted doubts about the rest of his administration’s agenda, MarketWatch reports.

The Stoxx Europe 600 index fell 0.5% to 380.13, retreating after ending Wednesday’s session at its highest since early December 2015. All sectors were lower Thursday, led by the oil and gas, financial and utilities group.
