President Trump said he does not think he will need to extend the July 9 deadline he set for reaching a trade deal to avoid higher tariffs.
"I don't think I'll need to do that," he said in an interview on Fox News, recorded on June 27 and broadcast on June 29.
The US leader warned that trade sanctions would come into effect if countries failed to reach an agreement with the US.
In an interview with Fox News, Mr. Trump emphasized that the US will send a notification letter to trade partners "quite soon" before the deadline.
"We'll see how countries treat us, whether they're good or bad. Some countries we don't care about, we'll send high numbers (tariffs)," Trump said.
Those letters, he said, would say something like: “Congratulations, we are allowing you to sell in the United States, and you will pay a 25%, 35%, 50%, or 10% tax.”
On June 27, Mr. Trump said his administration could do “whatever we want” with the deadline, including extending or shortening it.
Last April, President Trump announced a series of new tariffs on many trading partners, but suspended implementation for many countries for 90 days to facilitate negotiations with partners.
Mr. Trump and his advisers have laid out ambitious plans for the negotiating phase this year, repeatedly asserting that they are in talks with dozens of trading partners to reduce trade deficits and eliminate barriers.
The Trump administration has set a goal of 90 trade deals in 90 days, but Mr. Trump also emphasized that it is very difficult to have individual agreements with each partner because "there are more than 200 countries, and we cannot negotiate with each of them."
PEACEFUL
