The American sales advisor says that Trump’s pricing rates are about ” after the deadline has been postponed

Trump, who has exercised prices as a tool of American economic power, has set rates of prices for dozens of savings, including the European Union, between 10 and 41 percent, on August 7, his new deadline lasts for functions.

In a pre-tapped interview, broadcast on Sunday on “Face The Nation” of CBS, the representative of the US trade Jamieson Greer said that “the next few days” would probably not see changes in the rate rates.

“Many of them are rates set in accordance with agreements. Some of these transactions are announced, some are not, others depend on the level of the trade deficit or the surplus that we can have with the country,” said Greer.

“These rate rates are roughly set.”

Without a doubt, some trade ministers “want to speak more and see how they can work in a different way with the United States,” he added.

But “we really see the contours of the president’s pricing plan at the moment with these rates.”

Last Thursday, the former real estate developer announced hiking prices on dozens of American business partners.

They will be ajar on August 7 instead of August 1, which had previously been presented as a hard duration.

Among the countries faced with new samples, there is Brazil. The largest economy in South America is struck with 50% of export prices to the United States – although important exemptions for key products such as planes and orange juice.

Trump openly admitted that he punished Brazil for continuing his political ally Jair Bolsonaro, the former president accused of having plotted a coup in order to hang on to power. The American president described the case as a “witch hunt”.

Greer said it was not uncommon for Trump to use pricing tools for geopolitical purposes.

“The president has seen in Brazil, as he saw in other countries, improper use of the law, misuse of democracy,” Greer told CBS. “It is normal to use these tools for geopolitical problems.”

Trump was “elected to assess the situation of foreign affairs … and take the appropriate measures,” he added.

Meanwhile, the White House economic advisor Kevin Hassett said that even if talks should continue in next week with certain American business partners, he agreed with the evaluation of GREER prices in that most of the prices “are more or less locked up”.

Questioned by the host of the Talk show of the Sunday of NBC “meet the press with Kristen Welker” if Trump could change the rate rates if the financial markets react negatively, Hassett said: “I exclude him, because these are the final agreements.”

Legal challenges have been filed against some Trump’s tariffs arguing that he has exceeded his authority.

A jury of the Court of Appeal seemed skeptical about the government’s arguments, although the case can ultimately be decided at the Supreme Court.
