“We can do what we want.”

president Donald Trump He said on Friday that he may not adhere to the deadline in early July when the huge US tariff is set to enter into force on a large number of countries.

“No, we can do what we want,” Trump said at the White House when asked if the deadline was placed in the stone. “We can extend it. We can make it shorter.”

The question specifically was about 9 July, and the deadline of the United States and the European Union to negotiate on a commercial deal or another that leads to a 50 % tariff on European Union imports to turn.

But it seems that the president’s answer indicates the deadline on July 8 when it temporarily stops for a period of three months on the “mutual tariff” described on many countries, which led to the transmission of the country’s tariff rates to its initial and higher levels.

Despite Trump’s flexibility clearly on dates Executive order He signed on April 9, unless it is officially updated.

This reduced the country’s TROMP tariffs to a 10 % rate in all areas for 90 days, and specify that temporary re -delay will last for only three months.

Unless Trump raises his matter, the comprehensive definitions will return to its higher prices in the sky in 12 days.

This may have a significant impact on a large number of American commercial partners, and risks the repetition of the global economic turmoil that Trump launched when he announced the initial tariff rates on April 2.

The countries were supported by the huge import duties – which reach about 50 % – that Trump put forward for what he called “Liberation Day”.

What was immediately followed are days of very volatile markets, criticisms and warnings from investors, world leaders and importers. One week later, Trump announced a temporary stop for 90 days from new tariff rates.

The White House initially suggested in April that it would penetrate individual trade deals with dozens of countries in the separate months.

But with less than two weeks remaining in the temporary period for 90 days, the White House has yet concluded limited trade agreements with China and the United Kingdom.

Each of these deals was described as closer to Frameworks From finishing deals. On Friday, the Ministry of Commerce at Beijing said that China and the United States have it Confirm the details From the commercial framework that both sides agreed in the previous talks.

“We have concluded a deal with four or five different countries, but we have 200 countries, you can say 200 countries plus,” Trump said on Friday, on the country’s tariffs list of April.

“At a certain stage, during the week and a half or so, or perhaps before, we will send a letter, and we talked to many countries, and we will only tell them what they should push for business in the United States, and it will go very quickly,” Trump said.

Trump’s latest comments followed the recent suggestions made by administration officials that the final dates of the tariff in July are liquid.

“Maybe it can be extended, but this is a decision to make the president,” said White House press secretary Caroline Levitte on Thursday.

In late May, Federal Trade Court to hit The customs tariff, which decided that the law that Trump protested to impose was not granted by the authority that he claimed did. But federalism The Court of Appeal stopped temporarily This ruling of implementation.
