Earlier today, President Trump paused the tariffs for almost every nation except China. A reporter asked him about it this afternoon.
During a White House event with auto racing champs, President Trump told reporters he decided to pause some of his tariffs because he “thought that people were jumping a little bit out of line.”
“Well, I thought people were jumping a little bit out of line; they were getting yippy,” Trump explained. “A little bit afraid, unlike these champions.”
“We have a big job to do. No other president would have done what I did,” Trump added.
“What was happening to us on trade…not only China but others also…Somebody had to do it because it was not acceptable.”
Trump said the US is making $2 billion a day from tariffs.
He believes the Chinese Communists want to make a deal. They are proud people, but they want to make a deal.
The market ended back up to over 40,000.
