Washington: US President Donald Trump justified the imposition of reciprocal tariffs on more than a dozen countries, saying he should have done this “many years ago”. Speaking to reporters, Trump further said that the United States will have a lot of money coming in and would use the hundreds of billions of dollars to reduce its national debt.
We are going to pay down debt: Trump
“I am not looking for leverage, I am looking for fairness. We want to see reciprocal wherever we can and as much as possible. Sometimes, it would be too much for them to handle. It would be a much bigger number. And all I can say is this-Our country will be taking in hundreds of billions of dollars,” he said.
“We are going to pay down debt. We have a lot of money coming in, much more money than the country’s ever seen, by hundreds of billions of dollars,” Donald Trump told reporters.
