Duties, the White House: «Possible postponement for increases scheduled for July 9»

Donald Trump's administration could extend the July deadline when higher tariffs on imports from dozens of countries will take effect.

White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said: “It could be extended, but that’s a decision for the president to make,” she said at a briefing.

The July 9 deadline for the trade deal “is not critical,” he said. “The president can simply offer a deal to these countries if they refuse to sign one with us by the deadline,” Leavitt said, “and that means the president can choose a reciprocal tariff rate that he thinks is beneficial to the United States and American workers.”
