#TrumpTariffs The President of the United States, Donald Trump, declared this Wednesday that his Administration will inform "in a week and a half, two weeks" to its trade partners, establishing unilateral tariffs, before the deadline of July 9 when its "reciprocal" levies come into effect.

"We are going to send letters in about a week and a half, two weeks, to the countries, telling them what the deal is. At some point, we will just send letters. And I think they will understand, telling them 'this is the deal, you can take it or leave it. You don't have to use it. You don't have to buy in the United States, as I already said," he declared to the press from the Kennedy Center in Washington, where he was attending a show.

The tenant of the White House has again defended that his Administration is "dealing with quite a few countries and all want to reach an agreement with us," although he has ruled out that an extension of the deadline for the entry into force of the levies is a "necessity."

The American president already pointed out in mid-May that he would set tariff rates, also within a "two or three weeks" timeframe since then. A month earlier, he announced an increase in tariffs on dozens of trade partners, although he decided to pause them for 90 days while the markets were collapsing and investors feared that these would cause a global recession.
