What's the latest on Trump's planned global tariffs?
Asked 8 days ago
Answer
President Trump is not planning to extend the current pause on global tariffs, which is set to expire soon. If no new trade deals are reached, tariffs are expected to resume, though there is some uncertainty within the administration about the firmness of the July deadline. Ongoing negotiations with countries like Canada, Japan, and South Korea may influence the timing, with some officials suggesting deals could be reached closer to Labor Day. The tariffs have already impacted sectors such as fireworks, with significant price increases and supply disruptions due to tariffs on Chinese imports.
