Officials promise to remain a course when countries are fighting

US President Donald Trump’s advisers defended the tariff gap and promised to remain a course despite market shocks and calls to avoid the trade war.

In a series of television interviews, the Minister of Treasury Scott Baby has left the recent stock market, and Howard Lutnik, the secretary of the trade, insisted that “tariffs” were coming.

The infant said that there was no reason to wait for the recession as a result of the shock. “This is the adjustment process,” he said.

When asked about the shock, Lutnik told CBS News on Sunday that the 10% “basic” tariff for all imports, which came into force the other day, will definitely “remain at the place and weeks”.

Lutnick continued to say that more steady mutual tariffs were still on the way.

Higher tariffs for approximately 60 countries called “worse offenders” must come into force on Wednesday, April 9.

When asked about these tariffs, Lutnik said they were going. “(Trump) has announced it, and he doesn’t joke,” he said.

The free -to -doer used interviews with the “meeting with the press to NBC” to say that Trump “created the maximum lever for himself, and more than 50 countries turned to the administration about reducing his unproven trading barriers, reducing their tariffs, stopping currency manipulation.”

Kevin Joset, another chief economic advisor Trump, also repeated that more than 50 countries have expressed their desire to start negotiations. Neither Joset nor the infant gave more information about which countries supported.

British Prime Minister Sir Kire Starmer on Saturday warned that “the world we knew he went.”

Starmer said the UK government would continue to engage in an economic transaction with the US, which avoids some tariffs.

Downing Street spokesman added Starmer and the new Prime Minister of Canada Mark Karni in a phone call that “no one is in the interest.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to meet Trump for trade talks in Washington on Monday.

Netanyahu, speaking to journalists when he got on the US -related plane, stated that “the first international leader meets with Trump” since the introduction of new tariffs.

He says it shows them “a personal connection and connection between our countries, which is so important at this time.”
