Donald Trump said he “could not” if the car manufacturers increased prices after the entry into force of its 25% prices on foreign manufacturing vehicles.
Some analysts have warned that Trump’s import costs could lead to the temporary closure of American American production, with prices increased to consumers.
But the American president told NBC News on Saturday that he hoped that foreign car manufacturers would increase prices because it meant that “people will buy American manufacturing cars – we have a lot”.
Trump on Wednesday announced new 25% prices on cars and car parts entering the United States to start on April 2. The costs of companies’ import vehicles are expected on April 3, and parts on the parts should start in May or later.
When asked what his message was his message to the car bosses, he said: “The message is congratulated. If you make your car in the United States, you will earn a lot of money.”
He continued: “If you don’t, you will probably have to come to the United States, because if you create your car in the United States, there is no price.”
The recent survey of the American partner of the BBC CBS News suggest that consumers fear that prices increase prices, 72% indicating that they think that costs will increase in the short term. More than half of the respondents said that the Trump administration is not concentrating enough on the drop in the costs of the Americans.
Asked about this feeling on Sunday, Trump’s main advisor for trade and manufacturing Peter Navarro asked people to trust the American president.
“Trump confidence,” Navarro told Fox News, adding that previous prices on China by the United States led to “prosperity and price stability”.
“The reason we will not see inflation is that foreigners will eat most, they must,” he said, adding that the United States “is the largest market in the world.”
Shawn Fain, head of union workers from Union United, criticized Trump for his employment and immigration policies on CBS confronted with the nation – but he said that prices were a “toolbox” necessary to return manufacturing in the United States.
“There are a lot of opportunities. And I had companies tell us, point blank, that they will have to bring the product here if these prices are implemented.”
The 25% tax on imports on car manufacturers in Canada and Mexico was briefly implemented, but then stopped at the beginning of March, after pleadings of major North American manufacturers like Ford, General Motors and Stellantis.
But Trump told NBC that he had no longer planned to delay the prices on cars, saying that he would plan to negotiate “only if people are ready to give us something of great value – because countries have great value, otherwise, there is no room for negotiation.”
In another interview with NBC News on Sunday, he threatened to impose secondary prices from 25 to 50% on Russian oil if he feels that Vladimir Putin blocks the progress of Ukrainian peace talks.
“If Russia and I cannot conclude an agreement on the end of bloodshed in Ukraine, and if I think it was Russia’s fault – which is not the case – but if I think it was Russia’s fault, I will put the secondary prices on oil, on all the outgoing oil of Russia,” he told outlet.
“There will be a 25% price on oil and other products sold in the United States, secondary prices,” said Trump, adding that Russia prices would come in a month without a cease-fire contract.
Trump said Putin knew he’s angry, but has a “very good relationship” with the Russian president.
He continued by saying that “anger dissipates quickly” but only if Putin “he does the right thing”.
Trump said he will talk to Putin again this week.
Analysts claim that the prices to come that Trump has planned could express more relations with some of the main business partners in the United States.
Trump’s comments arise as Downing Street Sources said that the United Kingdom would not hesitate to retaliate against American prices if necessary.
The United Kingdom is in last-minute negotiations with the White House and is trying to obtain an exemption, arguing that-unlike other countries-the United Kingdom has a relatively equal commercial relationship with the United States. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said he didn’t want to jump into a trade war.
Several major savings have also promised to respond in response to Trump’s prices.
Germany said that it “would not give in” and that Europe must “react firmly”, while the French president has marked the move “a waste of time” and “inconsistent”.
Canada described it as “direct attack” and China accused Washington of having violated international trade rules.
