White House Clarifies Trump's Global Tariff Strategy

According to Odaily, the Washington Post reports that three informed sources have revealed that White House officials have distributed internal talking points, instructing agents that U.S. President Donald Trump's new global tariff plan should not be seen as a starting point for negotiations. As the world attempts to understand Trump's extensive new import taxes, the administration's internal guidance indicates that advisors should describe the tariffs as a response to a national emergency rather than a foundation for potential new trade talks. Two of the sources noted that, in addition to the talking points, Trump himself has informed advisors that the tariffs are not intended to establish negotiations.
