Trump Now Says Tariffs On China Will Be Much Lower Than 145%
HuffPost
"But it won’t be zero," the president cautioned.
President Donald Trump told reporters Tuesday that his 145% tariff on goods from China will come down “substantially.”
“145% is very high and it won’t be that high. It’s not going to be that high,” he said, adding, “It will come down substantially, but it won’t be zero.”
Trump said he believes the U.S. and China will “live together very happily and ideally work together,” and reach a deal so that the tariff “will not be anywhere near that number.”
“We’re going to be very good to China. I have a great relationship with [Chinese President Xi Jinping],” he said, but also added that he believed China was taking advantage of the U.S.
“China was taking us for a ride,” he said.
