President Trump offered an update on negotiations with the US’s trading partners during the 90-day pause on his additional reciprocal tariffs.
“We’re doing very well with negotiations, I think, with all countries,” Trump said to reporters after meeting with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on Thursday. “We have a lot of countries that want to make a deal. Frankly, they want to make deals more than I do.”
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent also chimed in, highlighting recent talks with Japan, the EU, South Korea, and India.
“We’re working on the big 15 economies,” Bessent said. “First, we had a fantastic meeting with Japan yesterday. I believe there’s been calls with the EU already, and then we have South Korea coming in next week, and I believe India is also talking. That’s moving very quickly.”
