The President of the United States stated that there are no plans to delay the trade tariffs scheduled to take effect on August 1st.
"According to the letter sent yesterday, as well as letters sent today, tomorrow, and in the near future, the tariffs will start being paid on August 1, 2025. These schedules have not changed and will not change. In other words, all payments must be made before August 1, 2025, without any delays."
Just one day ago, the President had a different stance. When asked if August 1st was a "hard deadline" for the tariffs to take effect, he replied: "No, I would say it is a hard deadline, but not 100% hard. If they call and say they want to do something different, we are open to it."
