…Adds: ‘no exception announced’
US President Donald Trump stated that no country will escape tariffs despite a 90-day pause. He emphasised that China will not receive special treatment and reaffirmed the need for America to manufacture products domestically, declaring an end to unfair trade practices.
US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that no country would be getting “off the hook” when it comes to tariffs, even though there’s a 90-day pause on some of them.
The shocking statement comes days after the United States published a guidance saying smartphones, computers and other electronics were exempted from the ‘reciprocal tariffs’.
In addition to the general reprieve for other countries, Trump on Friday issued exemptions for Chinese-made semiconductors and electronics, amid warnings that US consumers faced skyrocketing prices for products such as smartphones and laptops.
On Sunday, however, in a long post on Truth Social, Trump asserted that there was ‘no tariff exception’. He also played down any special treatment for Chinese tech products.
”NOBODY is getting “off the hook” for the unfair Trade Balances, and Non Monetary Tariff Barriers, that other Countries have used against us, especially not China which, by far, treats us the worst! There was no Tariff “exception” announced on Friday. These products are subject to the existing 20% Fentanyl Tariffs, and they are just moving to a different Tariff “bucket.”
”The Fake News knows this, but refuses to report it. We are taking a look at Semiconductors and the WHOLE ELECTRONICS SUPPLY CHAIN in the upcoming National Security Tariff Investigations. What has been exposed is that we need to make products in the United States, and that we will not be held hostage by other countries, especially hostile trading Nations like China, which will do everything within its power to disrespect the American People.
”We also cannot let them continue to abuse us on Trade, like they have for decades, THOSE DAYS ARE OVER! The Golden Age of America, which includes the upcoming Tax and Regulation Cuts, a substantial amount of which was just approved by the House and Senate, will mean more and better paying Jobs, making products in our Nation, and treating other countries, in particular China, the same way they have treated us.”
