President Donald Trump said he is not considering a pause on sweeping tariffs targeting dozens of countries, according to Bloomberg. Trump reaffirmed his commitment to tariffs as a central part of his economic strategy, though he signaled a willingness to negotiate “fair deals” with trading partners. Markets reacted sharply to the shifting signals, swinging wildly throughout the day. Trump also threatened additional 50 tariffs on China and criticized Japan’s barriers to US agriculture while dismissing an EU proposal to eliminate industrial tariffs as insufficient.
