Trump claims other countries asking for lower tariffs

Washington, Apr 21 (UNI) US President Donald Trump claimed that many world leaders and business leaders were asking the US administration to reduce customs tariffs.
"Since our announcement of LIBERATION DAY, many World Leaders and Business Executives have come to me asking for relief from Tariffs," Trump wrote on the Truth Social social network.
The US President also noted that the business community always has an easy path: "Come to America, and build in America!"
