I’m being ’kissed on ass’ to try to make trade deal - Trump bragged about ’war with world’
US President Donald Trump said that his global tariff policy is a "war on the world."
Trump said this during the National Republican Congressional Committee in Washington, D .C., Censor.NET reports with reference to UP.
"I really think that the war with the world, which is not a war at all, because they (leaders of states - Ed.) are all coming here. Japan is coming here as we speak. They are on the plane, many of them. All tough negotiators," Trump said.
Later, Trump added that countries are calling him and "kissing my ass" to try to get a trade deal done.
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 US. In addition, Economy Minister Yulia Svyrydenko assured that the US duty would not affect the exchange rate or food prices in Ukraine.
