President Donald Trump can't stop contradicting himself on his own tariff plans. He says he's on a path to cut several new trade deals in a few weeks but has also suggested it's physically impossible" to hold all the needed meetings. Trump has said he will simply set new tariff rates negotiated internally within the US government over the next few weeks although he already did that on his April 2 Liberation Day, which caused the world economy to shudder.
