Live updates: Trade best offers deadline arrives; Musk's criticism of GOP bill shows party divisions
Deadline arrives for best offers from U.S. trading partners
Today is also the deadline for countries to make their best offers in trade negotiations with the U.S. to avoid being hit with steep tariffs in July.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed at yesterday’s briefing with reporters that the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative sent a letter to trading partners this week asking them to present their best trade offers by today.
“This letter was simply to remind these countries that the deadline is approaching and the president expects good deals, and we are on track for that,” Leavitte said.
Reuters first reported the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative’s letter.
