EXCERPT:
TRUMP: “The tariffs will be not a full reciprocal. I could have done that. Yes, but it would have been tough for a lot of countries. We didn’t want to do that. I’d like to see the chart if you have it? Could you bring it up, Howard? This is our great Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick. Thanks, Howard. (applause) So, if you look at that, China first row, China 67 percent, that’s tariffs charged to the USA, including currency manipulation and trade barriers. So, 67 percent, I think you can, for the most part, see it. Those with good eyes. With bad eyes, we didn’t want to bring the — it’s very windy out here. We didn’t want to bring out the big chart because it had no chance of standing. Fortunately, we came armed with a little smaller chart.”
