US President Donald Trump is sticking firmly to his deadline for imposing tariffs on countries that fail to strike new trade deals with his administration.
“THE AUGUST FIRST DEADLINE IS THE AUGUST FIRST DEADLINE – IT STANDS STRONG, AND WILL NOT BE EXTENDED,” he declared in a Truth Social post on Tuesday. “A BIG DAY FOR AMERICA!!!”
When announcing the Aug. 1 deadline early in July, he said the date was “firm, but not 100% firm.”
