Trump Doubts Deal with Japan, Threatens Higher Tariffs Ahead of Deadline

No, no, I’m not. I’m not thinking about the pause. Uh, I’ll be writing letters to a lot of countries and I think you’re just starting to understand the process. We’ve dealt with Japan. I’m not sure if we’re going to make it to I doubt it with Japan. They’re very doubtful. You have to understand they’re very spoiled. I love Japan. I I really like the new prime minister, too. Hobby was one of my closest friends, as you know. The new prime minister is is great. He’s a very strong guy. But they and others are so spoiled from having ripped us off for 30, 40 years that it’s really hard for them to make a deal. You know, it’s very hard. As an example, with Japan, uh they won’t take rice and yet they desperately need rice. You know that, but they won’t take rice. Uh they won’t take other products that we have. But think of it, they need rice so badly, but they won’t take rice. I think that was an easy one. uh or the cars as you know they send out millions. We we didn’t give them one car in 10 years. They won’t take any cars but they’ll sell millions because so we told them sorry you can’t do that and we have a great relationship great reliance and really a great uh sort of a partnership in a way but on on trade they’ve been very unfair and those days are gone. So, what I’m going to do is I’ll write him a letter say we thank you very much and uh we know you can’t do the kind of things that we need and therefore you’ll pay a 30% 35% or whatever the number is that we determined because we also have a very big trade deficit with Japan as you know and it’s very unfair to the American people. So
over the next
I think we’re going to have a deal with India possibly and that’s going to be a different kind of a deal. It’s going to be a deal where we’re able to go in and compete. Right now we India doesn’t accept anybody in. I think India is going to do that and if they do that we’re going to have a deal for less much less tariffs. Just a small
Thank you for telling me by the way. Thank you very much everybody. Thank you. I give Trump very high marks. Goodbye everybody. [Music]
