Trump says the U.S. will just tell countries their tariff rates (again)

After months of promising “90 deals in 90 days,” President Trump now says there’s no time for trade negotiations. Instead, countries will be told—by letter—what tariffs they’ll pay to access the U.S. market. It’s a sharp reversal from the administration’s earlier rhetoric of dealmaking and diplomacy. With just two agreements loosely in place, the new approach sidelines talks in favor of top-down declarations. For partners expecting a handshake, the message is clear: the U.S. will be setting the terms, not trading them. Shannon Carroll with Quartz has the full story.
