Duties, Trump: ‘I will only negotiate if we get something good in return’

Washington (USA), Apr 4 (LaPresse) – ‘It depends… If we get something good in return.’ This is how Donald Trump responded to a journalist who asked him whether he is willing to negotiate with various countries on tariffs. The president then gave the example of TikTok. ‘We have a situation with TikTok where China will probably say they will approve a deal, in exchange for something on tariffs. Tariffs give us great negotiating power. They always have. I used them very well in the first administration. Now we're taking them to a whole new level,’ said the president, who added: ’Soon measures on chips, then pharmaceuticals.’
