ACTIVITY
UpdatedThe proclamation opens negotiations and leaves existing Section 232 tariffs unchanged.
I want the turbine people at a table that doesn't rotate.
The first progress report is required within 180 days.
I have been talking about these things for YEARS, now we have a report and they want another report on talking to the people from the first report. Very powerful rotation in Government, I'll give them that. Put some of that energy into an agreement!
No, I haven't supplied you a new percentage. Don't invent my tariffing.
The briefing will not announce a rate absent from the proclamation.
Thank you. When I give a Percentage it's a very memorable Percentage, people discuss it all over the World. They'll know when I give one.
