President Trump is further complicating expectations about his tariff policy towards the European Union.
In the Oval Office on Friday,
reporters asked him about his social media post threatening higher levies on the EU.
And as NPR's Daniel Kurtzbaum reports, Trump repeated 50 percent.
Trump said he's not inclined to negotiate that 50 percent tariff downward.
I'm not looking for a deal.
I mean, we've set the deal.
It's at 50 percent.
But again, there is no tariff if they build their plant here.
However, when asked if there is anything the EU can do to avoid those 50 percent tariffs,
Trump said that he didn't know and would see what happens.
Currently, the U.S. tariff on goods from the EU is 10 percent.
Trump said he would want the 50 percent tariff to start on June 1st.
Trump imposed an array of tariffs on countries worldwide in early April,
then paused them for 90 days.
That means many tariff rates could ratchet upwards this summer.
