Trade Tensions Rise as July 9 Tariff Deadline Approaches
As the July 9 deadline for global tariffs nears, President Trump has indicated that he does not plan to extend the current pause on tariffs, although he has left open the possibility of changes in trade strategy. Trump reassured that the U.S. will send out letters to various countries, outlining tariff rates, instead of negotiating new deals. Meanwhile, pressure is mounting for his administration to finalize trade agreements with nations like China and India, as the clock ticks down. Despite expressing confidence in handling the situation, experts suggest that trade deals are stalling at a critical time, leaving many uncertain about the future of U.S. trade policy.
