In a fiery press conference at the White House, President Donald Trump made it clear that he has no intention of pausing tariffs, asserting that he is prioritizing the interests of America above all else. Referring to China’s counter tariff of 34 percent, Trump warned that if it is not removed by a specific deadline, the U.S. will retaliate with a 50 percent tariff on top of existing tariffs.
Trump did not hold back in his criticism of the EU, accusing the alliance of being formed with the primary goal of damaging the U.S. He did not mince words when discussing NAFTA, labeling it as “the worst ever.” The President asserted that other countries are now willing to negotiate because they are realizing they are losing badly in trade deals.
Canada and Mexico were not spared from Trump’s harsh words, as he accused them of engaging in unfair trade practices and cheating “like crazy.” Trump’s unapologetic stance on tariffs and trade disputes reflects his unwavering commitment to putting America’s interests first.
