#TrumpTariffs #TrumpTariffs President Donald Trump told reporters on Wednesday that he would send letters to trade partners indicating unilateral tariff rates within the next week or two.
"At some point, we will just be sending letters. And I think you understand that, saying that this is a deal, you can accept it or reject it," the president said at the Kennedy Center in Washington.
Shortly after the introduction of new high tariffs that unsettled the markets, Trump announced a suspension of his most severe tariffs, which expires on July 9. However, his latest comment only muddles the waters regarding what may happen next as the deadline approaches.
Earlier on Wednesday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Congress that it is "quite likely" that the tariff pause will be extended for countries that are negotiating with the administration "in good faith."
