U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent expresses optimism about trading partners negotiating tariffs ahead of President Trump’s reciprocal tariff deadline. He notes:
- Some of America’s worst trading partners have offered to reduce unfair tariffs.
- April 2 might see some tariffs pre-negotiated or adjusted after countries receive their reciprocal tariff number.
- President Trump’s plan involves “reciprocal” tariffs against countries that tax or limit American goods.
- Economists agree tariffs impact consumers, but officials deny negative effects on U.S. jobs or prices.
- Bessent identifies “the dirty 15” with significant tariffs and barriers unrelated to safety standards.
