Trump Patience on Tariffs Runs Thin as Nations Jostle for Deals
Former U.S. President Donald Trump is growing increasingly impatient with ongoing trade negotiations, as countries scramble to secure favorable trade deals ahead of potential new tariffs. Trump, who remains a central figure in the 2024 election cycle, has warned that nations failing to agree to “fair” deals soon may face much higher tariff rates.

Trump has publicly voiced his frustration with trade partners such as Canada, Mexico, and the European Union, accusing them of “dragging their feet” in negotiations. He also hinted at expanding tariffs on key products, including automobiles, copper, and pharmaceuticals, if talks don’t show meaningful progress soon.
His tough stance adds to global uncertainty, with markets and businesses on alert for possible supply chain disruptions and rising import costs. While business groups have expressed concern, Trump supporters view the move as a strong-arm tactic to protect domestic industries and pressure foreign governments to accept U.S. terms.
