Trump: U.S. will set tariff rates in 2-3 weeks, walking back negotiations
President Trump said Friday the U.S. will unilaterally set tariff rates for many trading partners in the coming weeks, citing a lack of capacity to negotiate with so many countries simultaneously.
Why it matters: The U.S. already did that to some degree, on “Liberation Day” last month, then paused most of those rates after a global market panic sent stocks plunging and interest rates soaring.
