Trump says he won't suspend tariffs

Odaily News US President Trump said on the 7th that he would not suspend the so-called "reciprocal tariff" policy. After talks with visiting Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu at the White House that day, Trump told the media that he had no intention of suspending the tariff policy at the moment, and leaders of many economies were seeking to negotiate with him. He believes that there is no contradiction between forcibly enforcing tariff policies and conducting negotiations. Trump also said that he rejected the EU's proposal to exempt tariffs from the United States earlier that day, "No, this is not enough at all," "They are cheating us on trade issues." Netanyahu told the media after the talks that Israel will eliminate its trade deficit with the United States as soon as possible. According to US government data, the bilateral trade volume between the United States and Israel in 2024 will be approximately US$37 billion, and Israel's trade surplus with the United States will be US$7.4 billion.
