Trump’s Tariff Plans Still Not Finalized

By Leave a Comment

“President Donald Trump’s deliberations over his plans to impose reciprocal tariffs are coming down to the wire, with his team said to be still finalizing the level and scope of new import taxes he is slated to unveil on Wednesday afternoon,” Bloomberg reports.

“In meetings on Tuesday, Trump’s team continued to hash out their options ahead of a Rose Garden event scheduled to begin as US markets close at 4 p.m. on Wednesday.”

“The White House has not reached a firm decision on their tariff plan even though Trump himself said earlier in the week that he had ‘settled’ on an approach.”
