President Trump states that August 01 is not a change of deadline, it’s a clarification and that the incentive remains for countries to deal in the US. Trump believes the administration is picking out low and fair tariff numbers, with most rates lower than what the US is being charged. Trump reiterates his prior threats on a 10% tariff for nations in BRICS, saying that anybody in BRICS will be getting that charge pretty soon.
Moving onto the dollar, Trump states that if people want to challenge dollar, they'll pay price.

Trump says that the administration could have been much harsher on trade, and that they have the ability to go higher with tariffs.
