Trump Offers Tariff Exemptions to Multiple Countries
President Donald Trump held a press conference at the White House where he discussed the United States’ tariff policy. He mentioned the possibility of exempting certain countries or sectors from the mutual tariffs that are planned to take effect next week.
“We can recognize exemption for many countries. This is a mutual situation but we can be even more gentle. You know, we have treated many countries very well for a long time,” Trump stated during the conference.
He referred to April 2 as “the Day of Liberation”, hinting at an announcement to come. Additionally, Trump announced plans to explain tariffs for imported cars, timber, and chips in the near future, emphasizing that the goal is to bring back money to the country.
Regarding the mutual tariffs, Trump expressed his belief that some countries may receive less than what the US has applied, as they have already received substantial tax benefits. He mentioned feeling hesitant about applying additional taxes due to the significant taxes already received by the US.
Overall, Trump’s comments at the press conference indicate a strong stance on the implementation of tariffs and a willingness to negotiate with other countries for possible exemptions. Stay tuned for further updates on April 2.
