#TariffsPause President Donald Trump suggested another delay to his higher so-called “reciprocal” tariffs was unlikely, raising pressure on nations to negotiate trade deals with his administration.
Asked about the possibility of granting another 90-day pause, Trump cast that scenario as “unlikely,” while speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Friday. Trump also said that he would not drop tariffs on China, the world’s second largest economy, unless Beijing offers “something substantial” in return.
President Donald Trump denied that an aggressive bond market sell-off influenced his decision earlier this month to hold off on aggressive "reciprocal" tariffs against U.S. trading partners.
"No, it wasn't for that reason," Trump told Time magazine. "I'm doing that until we come up with the numbers that I want to come up with."
