#TrumpTariffs The Trump administration is increasing pressure on trading partners to quickly make new deals before the Wednesday deadline, with plans for the United States to start sending letters on Monday warning countries that higher tariffs could take effect on August 1. This adds uncertainty for businesses, consumers, and U.S. trading partners, and there are still doubts about which countries will be notified, whether anything will change in the coming days, and whether President Donald Trump will again delay the imposition of the tariffs. Trump and his top trade advisers claim he could extend the negotiation deadline but insist that the administration is applying maximum pressure on other nations. Kevin Hassett, director of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, told CBS's “Face the Nation” on Sunday that Trump would decide when it would be time to walk away from the negotiations. “The United States is always willing to talk to everyone about everything,” Hassett said. “There are deadlines, and there are things that are close, so maybe things will be postponed beyond the deadline, or maybe not. In the end, the president will make that decision.
