Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corva Coleman.
President Trump says he'll lower tariffs on China at some point, but in the meantime,
he's not promising relief for small businesses from the effects of tariffs.
Trump spoke in an NBC interview yesterday.
NPR's Luke Garrett has more.
President Trump was asked by NBC News whether he'd lower tariffs on China in order to start trade negotiations.
At some point, I'm going to lower them because otherwise you could never do business with them.
Meanwhile,
some small businesses that rely on Chinese imports say they're struggling with the 145 percent tariffs on some goods from China.
When asked if these businesses would receive government relief, Trump said.
They're not going to need it.
OK. They're going to make so much money if you build your product here.
Following Trump's new tariff policy against China and other nations,
no trade deals have been made by the White House yet.
