U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai: There are no "exceptions and exemptions" for tariffs, and there is no negotiation timetable.

On April 8, U.S. Trade Representative Jagril testified before the Senate that the higher tariffs will take effect tomorrow. Mr. Greer said Mr. Trump had made it clear that he would not take any tariff exclusions in the short term. “The president has made it clear to me and others that he does not intend to exclude and exempt, especially given the nature of the operation,” he said. “Therefore, the president has expressed his willingness to negotiate with parties who want reciprocal trade with the United States,” Greer added. We didn’t set any specific timeline because, as you pointed out, senators, the outcome is more important than artificially setting something for us. ”
