When asked whether he would speak to Putin this week if he "does the right thing", Trump replied: "Yes." In the same interview, he indicated that he “considered to impose secondary tariffs against Iran ... until the time when an agreement is signed.” During his first term, Trump withdrew from a 2015 nuclear agreement between Iran and the world powers, the strict restrictions for the controversial nuclear program in Tehrans in exchange for the cancellation of sanctions.
economic effects and future of tariffs
Trump previously admitted that his upcoming tariffs could cause some economic disorders. His most important economic advisors tried to downplay the uncertainty and the economic effects of the announcements on Wednesday. Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council, declined how many countries would be affected by the mutual tariffs, and made it clear on Sunday that the plans were still in the floating
"President Trump will decide how many countries are affected," said Hassett during a appearance on the program "Sunday Morning Futures" on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo. Hassett seemed to indicate that the president has not yet made any final decisions.
"President Trump has a long -term vision for the golden age of America, and we are really working hard to realize this in time. But I cannot give you forward -looking information about what will happen this week. The president has a lot to analyze and he will make the right decision," added Hassett.
willingness to negotiate and future agreements
At the same time, Trump showed a certain openness to negotiations in his conversation with Welker. "Only when people are willing to give us something of great value. Because countries have valuable things. Otherwise there is no room for negotiations," he said.
On Friday, Trump told reporters on board Air Force One that any agreement would probably come about after the notice of the Zolle. The president has long believed in the use of tariffs - and the threat of tariffs - as a central negotiating tool. But the back and forth to the tariffs at the beginning of this month shaken the markets and fueled concerns and uncertainties for American companies and consumers.
arguments for tariffs and market turbulence
Peter Navarro, the senior advisor to the President of Trade and Manufacturing, rejected concerns about rising prices for consumers. "Customs are tax cuts, tariffs create jobs, tariffs are national security, tariffs are great for the Americans. Customs will make America big again," he said in a program on "Fox News Sunday" with Shannon Bream.
cnn has reported that the Americans do not feel the full effect of the tariff immediately, but that Import taxes could increase prices for almost everything, especially since over 40 % of the goods that imported America last year come from the countries that Trump has targeted.
BREAM Hakte at Navarro whether the tariffs would affect the daily costs. He referred to income from automotive duties that will support tax cuts and promised "the greatest tax reduction in American history for the middle class". "Overall, as you say, consumers and Americans will be better off, including all jobs they get," he said.
Again the polls, which reflect the widespread belief that tariffs will make products more expensive, and on Trump's own statement that tariffs could lead to "some disorders", Navarro said that people should "trust Trump". "Trump. We have the example from the first term. We know that we have raised historically high tariffs in China. We have raised tariffs on aluminum and steel. We have raised tariffs on washing machines and solar systems. ... Everything we had from it was wealth and price stability. And the reason why we will not see any inflation is that the foreigners will have to take over the majority of the costs. she, ”he said.
