Trump suggests most negotiated trade deals with US still valid
WASHINGTON, United States (AFP) — United States (US) President Donald Trump suggested Friday that most trade deals negotiated under the threat of his tariffs remained valid, mentioning specifically India, despite the US Supreme Court ruling those levies illegal.
“The India deal is on,” Trump told reporters in response to a question, while suggesting tariffs under separate authorities would replace the ones overturned by the Supreme Court. “All the deals — we’re just going to do it a different way.”
