White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt called out the press for its over-the-top negative coverage of President Donald Trump’s tariff policy.
“Many of you in the media clearly missed the ‘The Art of the Deal.’ You clearly failed to see what President Trump is doing here,” she said after announcing Trump has placed a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs on those countries that reached out to the U.S.
This will allow time for the Trump administration to negotiate trade deals with them.
Meanwhile, Trump will be keeping in place a 10 percent baseline tariff on goods coming into the U.S., but for China, he has increased the rate to 125 percent after Beijing said it would be imposing an 84 percent retaliatory tariff on U.S.
