New Trump flip and it’s a big one. Karoline Leavitt: there will be no reduction in tariffs against China. Markets headed back down
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said this afternoon that the Trump administration will not unilaterally reduce tariffs imposed on China.

"Let me be clear, there will be no unilateral reduction in tariffs against China," she said in an interview on Fox News. "The president has made it clear China needs to make a deal with the United States of America, and we are optimistic that will happen."

She rejected the idea that Trump's position on tariffs on China has been softening.

The lack of a single coherent & consistent message out of the White House for even 24 hours at a time has destroyed our credibility and leverage on the global stage to an extent that few living Americans have ever experienced before. pic.twitter.com/IcaZ8gwZ8H
