More than 50 nations have requested tariff negotiations, according to the White House

Less than a week after taking effect, other nations are responding to President Trump’s tariff plan, looking for a deal.

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One over the weekend, the President says he has spoken to leaders from key trade areas like Europe and Asia and says they want to negotiate. Administration officials say more than 50 countries have reached out since the tariffs went into effect.

President Trump says the goal is to have a trade surplus or, at worst, break even.
