#TrumpTariffs

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he will send messages to major economies to specify the planned trade tariffs in the coming weeks, ahead of the July 9 deadline for reaching 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 will send messages in a week and a half to two weeks to inform them of what the deal is."

Trump stated that talks are ongoing with Japan, South Korea, and about 15 other countries.

It remains unclear whether Trump will 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 with further extensions.

When asked if he was ready to extend his July 9 deadline for trade talks, Trump said, "I will, but I don't think we will have to."
