White House on Tariffs: We are seeing these deals moving in the right direction

Despite the worse-than-expected ag trade deficit forecast, President Trump’s team says he is making progress.

During a press briefing yesterday afternoon, the White House Press Secretary told reporters that his team is on the road looking to make deals.

“And as you’ve all seen, he’s unfraid to use tariffs to protect our industries and protect our workers, but he wants to see these tailor-made deals be signed. I will tell you, of course, I never want to be the one negotiating with the press about these internal discussions and deliberations, but our team, which is deeply involved in this, sees these deals moving in the right direction. In fact, Ambassador Greer is in Paris right now, meeting with many of our trading partners,” said Karoline Leavitt.

U.S. Trade Rep Jameison Greer is meeting with his counterpart this weke in Paris following the trade shakeup.
