Trump threatens to put higher tariff rate back if countries don’t strike deals
President Trump on Thursday threatened to reverse course on a 90-day pause on country-specific tariffs if countries don't strike a deal with his administration before then.
“If we can’t make the deal that we want to make or we have to make or that’s, you know, good for both parties — it's got to be good for both parties — then we go back to where we were,” Trump said during an on-camera meeting with his full Cabinet.
The president said “it’s very close” when questioned on where his administration is on striking a deal with the first foreign nation on tariffs, not elaborating on which country is the closest.
He also didn’t rule out extending the 90-day pause that was implemented Wednesday.
“We’ll have to see what happens at the time,” Trump said.
