Trump speaks with reporters on Air Force One
President Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Thursday evening that every country is already calling the White House in response to his reciprocal tariffs.
On Wednesday President Trump signed an executive order imposing reciprocal tariffs on dozens of countries.
Trump announced the implementation of a 10% baseline tariff on all imports, effective April 5, 2025.
“For too long, other nations have taken advantage of our open markets while imposing barriers to our products. Those days are over,” the President said.

The White House released a detailed chart showing how badly many countries have been ripping off American workers, charging high tariffs on U.S. goods while benefiting from America’s generosity in return.
The media has been running apocalyptic headlines attacking President Trump for imposing tariffs on countries that have tariffs on the US: “Trump Slump” – “Shocks and Shares” – “Tariffying” – “Trade War Begins”
Countries are calling the White House just one day after President Trump signed the executive order.
President Trump spoke to reporters aboard Air Force One en route to Florida on Thursday evening and said his tariffs are designed to put the US in the driver’s seat.
“Every country’s called us. That’s the beauty of what we do … if we would have asked some of these countries, almost, most of these countries, to do us a favor they would have said no. Now, they’ll do anything for us,” Trump said.
When asked if he is open to deals, Trump responded, “It depends.”
“Tariffs give us great power to negotiate,” Trump said.
