The president said of the plans: «Different amounts of money, different amounts of tariffs and somewhat different statements.»
President Donald Trump said he has signed letters to 12 countries, outlining the various tariff levels they will face on goods they export to the United States.
The president made the remarks to reporters aboard Air Force One as he traveled to New Jersey on Friday night. He declined to identify the countries, but said it would be made public on Monday.
«I signed some letters and they’ll go out on Monday, probably 12», Trump said. «Different amounts of money, different amounts of tariffs and somewhat different statements.»Why It Matters
Trump in April announced a 10-percent base tariff rate and additional amounts for most countries, including some as high as 50 percent. But, after the announcement prompted a market meltdown, the president hit pause for 90 days to allow time for negotiations with individual counties, although high taxes were left in place on imports from China.
