Internet reports that U.S. President Trump has said he will impose tariff levels and trade preferences for partners who want to avoid high tariffs, which seems to indicate that he no longer believes there will be repeated negotiations. He added: "We will put forward a very fair number, which will be a lower number. We don't want to hurt countries." Trump said on Sunday that the first deals could be reached as soon as this week, but his latest comments suggest he may continue to change course. Trump also said he was tired of questions about when a deal would be reached. "We don't have to sign an agreement. If we wanted to, we could sign 25 agreements now. We will sign some agreements, but more importantly than that, we will lower the price of shopping in the United States."
