#TrumpTariffs Trump said he will set unilateral 'take it or leave it' tariffs on trading partners in the next 2 weeks.

Trump said he would send letters to countries in about two weeks to inform them of unilateral tariffs.

"You can take it, or you can leave it," he said of how trading partners could respond to the tariffs.

He said the US could not hold trade negotiations with "150 plus" countries.

President Donald Trump said he would send letters to trading partners in about two weeks, informing them that the US was imposing unilateral tariffs on them.

Speaking to reporters at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, the president said he did not think extending the deadline for trade talks with countries was necessary, as he had already made a "great deal with China," and one with the UK.

"Now, at a certain point, we're just going to send letters out, and I think you understand that, saying this is the deal. You can take it, or you can leave it," Trump said.

He added, "You don't have to use it. You don't have to shop in the United States, as I say."

He said trade negotiations were still ongoing with about 15 countries, including Japan and South Korea, but it was not possible to negotiate with "150 plus" countries.

His comments on imposing unilateral tariffs came about 60 days into the 90-day tariff pause he announced in April.
