Some of these deals are announced, some are not, others depend on the level of the trade deficit or surplus we may have with the country," Greer said."These tariff rates are pretty much set."Undoubtedly, some trade ministers "want to talk more and see how they can work in a different way with the United States," he "we're seeing truly the contours of the president's tariff plan right now with these rates."Last Thursday, the former real estate developer announced hiked tariff rates on dozens of US trade will kick in on August 7 instead of August 1, which had previously been touted as a hard deadline. Meanwhile, White House economic advisor Kevin Hassett said that while talks are expected to continue over the next week with some US trade partners, he concurred with Greer's tariffs assessment in that the bulk of the rates "are more or less locked in."
