American Commerce Secretary Rutenberg said on the 27th that Trump will not grant any extensions to countries that wish to negotiate trade agreements before the August 1 deadline.
He said, "No more extensions, no more grace periods. On August 1, the tariff policy will be implemented. These tariffs will take effect, and customs will start collecting the relevant fees, everything will proceed as planned."
However, Rutenberg added that even if the tariffs take effect, Trump is still willing to continue negotiations. "Clearly, after August 1, countries can still communicate with President Trump. I mean, he has always been willing to listen."
He also mentioned that before the August 1 deadline, Trump will continue to dialogue with other countries. "As for whether they can satisfy the president, that's another matter. But it is certain that the president is absolutely willing to engage in negotiations and dialogue with major economies." (Source: The Hill)
