Trump officials keep up tariff pressure but hint at flexibility on deadline

This enhances uncertainty for companies, consumers and commercial partners in America, and questions about the countries that will be notified, whether anything will change in the coming days and whether president Donald Trump will again lead to prices. Trump and the most important trade consultant say it can extend time to make deals, but they insist that the administration applies the maximum pressure to other countries.

Kevin Haysit, director of the National Economic Council of the White House, told “confrontation with the nation” on Sunday that Trump would decide when it is time to give up negotiations.

“The United States is always ready to talk to everyone about everything,” Haysit said. ))

Stephen Miran, Chairman of the Economic House of Economists at the White House, said that countries that are negotiating with good faith and concessions can “somewhat, recycle history.”

The sharp definitions that President Donald Trump announced on April 2 to reform the global economy and lead to broader commercial wars. A week later, after the financial markets were terrified, his administration was suspended for 90 days most of the high taxes on imports just as they were in effect. The negotiating window until July 9 has announced only deals with the United Kingdom and Vietnam.

Trump imposed high tariff rates on dozens of countries that manage trade surpluses with the United States, and 10 % baseline tax on imports from all countries in response to what he called economic emergency. There is a 50 % separate tariff on steel and aluminum and a 25 % tariff on cars.

Since April, a few foreign governments have set new trade conditions with Washington as the Republican President demanded.

Trump told reporters early on Friday that his administration may send messages early on Saturday to countries whose tariffs are blowing if they did not reach a deal, but the United States will not start collecting these taxes until August 1. On Friday night, he said that “he may send different events 10 or 12” on Monday, each with “different amounts of money, different amounts of animation and some of them.

He and his advisers refused to identify the countries that will receive messages.

Treasury Secretary Scott Payet rejected the idea that August 1 was a new final date and refused to say what might happen on Wednesday.

“We will see,” said BESSENT in the case of Etihad CNN. “I will not give up the playing book.”

He said that the United States “is close to several deals”, and has expected many large ads during the next few days. He did not give any details.

“I think we will see a lot of deals very quickly,” said Pesin.

Trump announced an agreement with Vietnam that would allow us to enter the country exempt from fees, while Vietnamese exports to the United States will face a 20 % tax.

This was a decrease in a 46 % tax on Vietnamese imports that he suggested in April-one of the so-called mutual definitions targeting dozens of countries in which the United States runs a commercial deficit.

When asked if he expected to reach deals with the European Union or India, Trump said on Friday that “messages are better for us” because there are many countries concerned.

“We have India coming and with Vietnam, we did it, but much easier to send a message saying:” Listen, we know that we have a certain deficit, or in some cases a surplus, but not much. This is what you should pay if you want to do business in the United States. ”

However, Canada will not be one of the countries that receive messages, according to Trump’s ambassador, House of Herchestra, on Friday after it resumed commercial talks between the two countries recently.

“Canada is one of our biggest commercial partners,” Harkstra told CTV News in an interview with Ottawa. “We will have a detailed deal.”

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said he wanted a new deal on July 21 or will increase Canada from anti -trade measures.

Hoekstra will not adhere to the date of a commercial agreement and even with a deal, Canada still faces some definitions. But “we will not send Canada just a message.”
