President Donald Trump said he was open to negotiations that would reduce the tariffs he’s planning to implement on countries next week, but that he didn’t expect deals ahead of his April 2 announcement.
“I’m certainly open to that, if we can do something, we can get something for it,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One.
But Trump cautioned that any deal would happen “probably after” he imposed tariffs, and said that although he was receptive to dealmaking, he believed the US had “been taken advantage of for 40 years, maybe more.”
