#TrumpTariffs
In the next two weeks
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he would send messages to major economies to outline the planned trade tariffs in the coming weeks, ahead of the July 9 deadline to finalize trade agreements with his administration.
"At some point, we will send messages saying 'this is the deal', you can accept it or reject it," Trump told reporters at the Kennedy Center.
"We'll send messages in a week and a half to two weeks to let them know what the deal is."
Trump stated that talks are ongoing with Japan, South Korea, and about 15 other countries.
It was unclear whether Trump would stick to his tariff deadline, as the president has set trade deadlines of two to three weeks in the past, which either passed without action or were further extended.
When asked if he was willing to extend his July 9 deadline for trade talks, Trump said, "I will, but I don't think we will have to."
