Trump reiterated that the benchmark tariff is 10%, and individual exemptions are not ruled out
According to Internet reports, U.S. President Trump said on Friday that he would "always" impose tariffs of at least 10% on trading partners, but then added that "no exceptions are excluded." This statement highlights the current U.S. position in multiple trade negotiations remains unclear. "You always have a baseline," Trump told reporters at the White House. "Of course, there may be exceptions. Sometimes, certain countries do special things for us, but that is another matter. But basically, the minimum baseline is 10%, and some tariffs will be much higher than this level." After the United States and Britain announced the framework agreement on Thursday, the United States still maintained a baseline tax rate of 10% on British goods. In response, administration officials insisted that Trump would continue to impose tariffs of at least 10% on all imported goods to deal with the trade deficit and promote the development of U.S. manufacturing. White House Press Secretary Levitt also said earlier in the day,"The president is determined to continue implementing this 10% tariff baseline. I just communicated with him."
