President Donald Trump claims that dozens of countries are trying to negociate trade agreements with the United States after his fresh extremist tariffs, boasting that abroad leaders are begging for exemptions to avoid the full impact of fees.
Speaking at the National Republican legislature Committee (NRCC) dinner on Tuesday evening, Trump said his administration “he's doing very well” in early negotiations with countries that were already hit by a basic 10% tariff last week – and dozens of others have faced even higher tariffs since Wednesday."I tell you, these countries call us, kiss my ass" said Trump."They are dying of the desire to conclude a contract: »Please, please, sir, let us make a deal. I will do anything, I will do anything, sir.”The administration has previously stated that nearly 70 countries have sought talks to mitigate the effects of tariffs, as Trump is pushing for tailor-made agreements with individual countries.
"I call them customized contracts, not ready ones", said earlier on Tuesday during the event of signing an executive decree in the White House.Trump besides argued that the tariff strategy was working well and predicted that it would strengthen Republicans in the 2026 supplementary election – rejecting critics who claim that taxes are counterproductive to American consumers and investors.
He besides targeted Republican organization legislators who supported a two-party effort to limit his powers to levy tariffs for more than 60 days without Congress' approval.“We will win the supplementary elections and we will win a huge, overwhelming victory”, told Trump legislators and Republican organization donors.
"And I truly think that the current tariff situation, which is simply a good situation... will be legendary, see."The president's comments came just before his administration introduced higher import duties, including a advanced work of 104% on Chinese goods.
The policy that comes into force on Wednesday is part of the wider ‘reciprocal’ Trump's commercial programme to exert force on countries with major trade surpluses to offer better conditions to the United States.The White home said that customs are designed to solve long-term trade imbalances and revive home production.
Trump insists that these measures are already benefiting the US economy, claiming that the country charges $2 billion a day for customs revenue.
