Trump Says Tariffs Politically Risky, But Not Rushing Deals

President Donald Trump acknowledged that his sweeping tariff programme had risked imperiling him politically, but said he would not rush deals to appease nervous investors during a town hall on Wednesday.
NEW YORK:
"Yeah," Trump said when asked by NewsNation host Bill O'Reilly if he agreed that his tariff proposals had a perception problem. "But I'm an honest guy, and we have to save the country."
Trump went on to agree there was a significant political risk to his efforts, and that they could result in Republicans losing control of the House of Representatives in the midterm elections if those perceptions don't change — but said he remained determined to push on.
"I just think that I'll be able to convince people how good this is," Trump said.
