Trump's productive call with Zelenskiyy, eyes 30-day ceasefire deal
U.S. President Donald Trump had a "very good and productive" phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiyy on Thursday, according to the White House.
U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Tuesday that the United States is generating nearly $2 billion per day from tariffs. Speaking at the White House, Trump highlighted the success of his administration’s tariff strategy, referring to it as part of "tailored deals" with various countries.
"We're taking in almost $2 billion a day in tariffs ... and we're doing very well in making, I call them tailored deals," Trump said. He added that countries like Japan and South Korea are actively seeking agreements with the U.S., with officials from these nations traveling to Washington to negotiate.
White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt further explained that nearly 70 countries have reached out to the Trump administration for negotiations following the announcement of a new 10% minimum tariff on all imports, along with higher reciprocal tariffs targeting the U.S.'s largest trading partners, including China and the European Union.
Leavitt confirmed that Trump met with his trade team earlier on Tuesday, directing them to pursue specific trade deals with each country seeking negotiations. When asked about the possibility of delaying the tariffs, Leavitt stated that Trump has made it clear that he does not plan to extend or delay the implementation of the new tariffs, which are expected to go into effect as scheduled.
