President Trump boasted that countries have been “calling us, kissing my butt”, since he announced that he would be slapped to approximately 90 nations with radical tariffs, including an amazing 104% gravation in China.
“I am telling you, the country of the thesis calls us, kissing our butt,” Trump told the dinner of the National Committee of the Republican Congress on Tuesday night, just a few hours before the tariffs came into force.
“They are. They are dying to make a deal.” Please, please, Lord, make a deal. I will do anything. I will do anything, sir! “
Trump, who was not revealing which countries had requested an agreement, we for Rip Rip “Rebel.
“I see a rebel Republican, a guy who wants the gallery, says:” I think Congress should take negotiations. “Let me tell you that you don’t negotiate as I negotiated,” he said.
“Oh, that’s what I need, I need a boy to tell me how to negotiate.”
“I know what the hell I am doing,” Trump added. “I know what I am doing, and you also know what I am doing.”
His comments arrived hours before the tariffs, who hit both allies and the adversaries, get used to just after midnight.
Tariffs are added to a 10% reference tax imposed on April 5.
The president slapped China with the highest tariffs on imports after Beijing attacked with 34% rates in US goods. In response to the import rate of 34% that Trump revealed last week.
“It was a mistake for China to retaliate,” said White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, Tuesday on Tuesday.
“The president, when the United States is beaten, the hardest blows. That is why there will be 104% of tariffs in force in China tonight at midnight.”
The 50% retaliation rate of Trump on China adds to the 34% reciprocal tax and to the previously imposed tax of Chinese imports, which is equivalent to a total tariff rate of 104%.
China on Wednesday told the World Trade Organization that the United States’s decision to impose Beijing tariffs threatened to further destabilize global trade.
“The situation has intensified dangerously … as one of the affected members, China expresses serious concern and a firm opposition to this recsinous movement,” the country said in a statement to the WTO.
