2. SOUNDBITE (English) Karoline Leavitt, White House press secretary:
"Excuse me, if I, excuse me Raquel, if I could just add to what the secretary said. Many of you in the media clearly missed the art of the deal, you clearly failed to see what President Trump is doing here. You tried to say that the rest of the world would be moved closer to China when in fact we’ve seen the opposite effect. The entire world is calling the United States of America, not China because they need our markets. They need our consumers and they need this president in the Oval Office to talk to them. And that’s exactly why more than 75 countries have called, because the United States of America is the best place in the world to do business. And as the president has shown great courage, as the secretary has said, in choosing to retaliate against China even higher."
STORYLINE:
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt chided reporters Wednesday for "clearly missing" President Donald Trump’s book on dealmaking as the president announced he is pausing his so-called “reciprocal” tariffs on most of the country’s biggest trading partners but maintaining his 10% tariff on nearly all global imports.
“Many of you in the media clearly missed the ‘Art of the Deal,’” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters, in a nod to the Trump’s 1987 memoir and advice book.
“You clearly failed to see what President Trump is doing here. You tried to say that the rest of the world would be moved closer to China, when in fact, we’ve seen the opposite effect — the entire world is calling the United States of America, not China, because they need our markets,” she added.
