US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick stated that US President Donald Trump has no intention of prolonging the freeze on his worldwide tariffs. In April, Trump unveiled his plan, which would subject nations to tariffs ranging from 11% to over 100% on items imported into the US. However, in response to stock market volatility, Trump temporarily suspended most of the tariffs for ninety days. When the 90-day halt ends at the beginning of July, Lutnick told Fox News that he expects the President to remain steadfast.
China, which US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated has “not been a reliable partner” and is allegedly restraining goods in the global supply chain, will be the target of a significant trade agreement.
In their appearances on several US morning television shows on Sunday, the president’s senior trade advisors put on a unified front. Despite persistent obstacles in the country’s judicial system, they remained committed to the tariff agenda. In reaction to the court proceedings, Lutnick stated that tariffs would not disappear.
He said that although the Trump administration is trying to “make them better,” the US “could sign lots of deals now.” You’re going to see the best deals for the American worker over the next couple of weeks,” he added. Lutnick also stated, “I think that’s the time limit, and the President’s just going to figure out what rates people have if they can’t get a deal done” regarding the 90-day pause’s expiry.
