President Donald Trump said he plans to impose reciprocal levies on every nation as part of his sweeping tariff push next week, but said the rates would be lower than expected.
“We’re going to make it all countries, and we’re going to make it very lenient,” Trump told reporters Wednesday in the Oval Office. “I think people are going to be very surprised. It’ll be, in many cases, less than the tariff that they’ve been charging us for decades.”
