Trump: “I can say a company, but not 100% firm. If they call and they want to do something different, we will be open to it.

“We are always exposed to negotiating something fair. But we talked to most of the countries and they went on their way for almost decades. As you know. And we just wanted justice.”

“We made an agreement with the United Kingdom, we made an agreement with China. We approached an agreement with India. Others we met with others. So we don’t think we can make an agreement. So if you send them a letter, what you have to pay, so we’re worried about how much they have done to some countries.

When asked whether the deadline is intact, Trump said, “I can say the company, but not 100% company. They call and they say we want to do something different, we will be open to it.”

From the power center suppliers such as Trump, Japan and South Korea to small players, the trade partners began to say that higher US tariffs will begin by marking a new stage in the trade war launched earlier this year.
