President Trump has said he鈥檚 holding firm strong on his deadline this Friday for tariffs to go into effect on nations that do not come to new trade agreements with his administration.

鈥淭HE AUGUST FIRST DEADLINE IS THE AUGUST FIRST DEADLINE 鈥� IT STANDS STRONG, AND WILL NOT BE EXTENDED,鈥� he wrote on Truth Social.
