This development comes hot on the heels of an outpouring of appeals from more than 50 countries begging President Trump to reconsider his tariffs. Just to put it into perspective, it has only been five days since the implementation of Trump’s Liberation Day tariffs, yet countries around the world are rushing to negotiate their removal. The narrative that emerged in the preceding weeks from progressive media, denouncing Trump’s tariffs as ineffective, is now being turned on its head. Recent reports reveal a staggering number of nations clamoring for negotiations, with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik firmly stating that the 10% tariffs imposed on nearly 90 nations are non-negotiable. The message is clear: “pay up or get out.”
