Press Sec Karoline Leavitt: “It was a mistake for China to retaliate. When America is punched, [President Trump] punches back harder. That’s why there will be 104% tariffs going into effect on China tonight… If China reaches out to make a deal, he will be incredibly gracious.”
Press Sec Karoline Leavitt: “The reciprocal tariff rates that were implemented by country were focused on the monetary tariff that those countries have imposed on the U.S., but also the non-monetary tariff barriers… moving forward, POTUS Trump will talk to any country that picks up the phone to call, and I can tell you, the phones have been ringing off the hook.”
Press Sec Karoline Leavitt: “POTUS Trump will be meeting with Republican lawmakers today… to talk to them about the framework that the Senate passed… he is counting on House Republicans to pass it. The Republicans received an overwhelming mandate from the American public to govern.”
Press Sec Karoline Leavitt: President Trump “is not considering an extension or delay [of the tariffs]… It’s about time we have a President in the Oval Office who is putting the world on notice.”
