Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corva Coleman.
President Trump's latest round of tariffs took effect six hours ago against dozens of nations.
That includes China.
The Chinese government has issued a white paper that says it's taking forceful countermeasures.
But it also says it's committed to resolving disputes through dialogue.
NPR's Daniel Kurtz-Laban reports President Trump might be open to the idea.
The tariffs mean U.S. businesses will pay extra to import products from dozens of trading partners,
including the EU, Japan and Vietnam.
Among the new taxes is a 104 percent tariff on Chinese goods.
After days of mixed messages over whether the tariffs were negotiable or not,
the president marked the eve of this day by saying he's open to making new deals.
And we're doing very well in making, I call them tailor deals, not off the rack.
These are tailored, highly tailor deals.
Right now, Japan is flying here to make a deal.
South Korea is flying here to make a deal, and others are flying here.
However, the White House has not given a timetable on any potential tariff changes.
