President Trump stood by his wide-scale tariffs, calling them a “beautiful thing to behold” that will eventually be largely supported even as stock futures dropped Sunday evening.
“They are already in effect, and a beautiful thing to behold. The Surplus with these Countries has grown during the ‘Presidency’ of Sleepy Joe Biden,” Trump blasted out Sunday night on Truth Social as he attempted to justify the action he took against around 90 nations last week.
“We are going to reverse it, and reverse it QUICKLY. Some day people will realize that Tariffs, for the United States of America, are a very beautiful thing!”
The president said the leaders of several countries are calling him and are ready to make a deal with the US while speaking to reporters on Air Force One Sunday evening.
“I spoke to a lot of leaders — European, Asian, from all over the world. They’re dying to make a deal,” said Trump, 78.
