We get $2bn a day from new tariffs. America is going to be very rich again very soon, - Trump
US President Donald Trump claims that the United States is earning $2 billion daily after the introduction of new customs tariffs.
This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to The Guardian.
Thus, he rejected any of their criticisms.
"We get almost $2 billion a day from tariffs... And we are very good at making what I call individual deals," Trump said.
He also added that Japan and South Korea, as well as "others", are sending their representatives to the US to conclude a deal that will allow them to avoid the imposed tariffs.
"America is going to be very rich again very soon," he added.
Trump imposed tariffs
As a reminder, Trump signed a decree imposing a minimum 10 percent tariff on almost all goods entering the United States. For some countries, the tariffs are higher. In particular, China - 34%, the European Union - 20%.
Later it became known that Trump had declared a state of emergency in the country's economy.
The U.S. tariffs also affected Ukraine, with the U.S. imposing 10 percent duties on its goods.
China has announced that it will impose 34 percent duties on all American goods in response.
At the same time, the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine believes that there are chances to negotiate other terms of trade with the United States. In addition, Economy Minister Yulia Svyrydenko assured that the US duty will not affect the exchange rate or food prices in Ukraine.
