Trump downplays trade talks, says lower prices are important

Odaily Planet News: U.S. President Trump stated that he will set tariff levels and trade preferences for partners who wish to avoid high tariffs, which seems to indicate that he no longer believes in repeated negotiations. He added: "We will propose very fair numbers, which will be a lower number. We do not want to harm any countries." Trump said last Sunday that the first batch of agreements could be reached as early as this week, but his latest remarks suggest that he may continue to change his approach. Trump also said that he is tired of questions about when an agreement will be reached. "We do not have to sign an agreement. If we want, we can sign 25 agreements right now. We will sign some agreements, but more importantly, we will lower prices for shopping in the United States." ()
