The White House Indicates No Room for Negotiation on Tariffs

BlockBeats News, April 4th, according to The Washington Post, three sources familiar with the matter revealed that White House officials distributed internal talking points and told surrogates that Trump's new global tariff plan should not be seen as a starting point for negotiations. The sources said that as the world tries to understand Trump's sweeping new import taxes, internal guidance from the government instructs advisers to describe the tariffs as a response to a national emergency rather than the basis for potential new trade talks. Two sources said that in addition to the talking points, Trump himself also told advisers that the tariffs are not meant to establish a negotiation. (FX168)
