Donald Trump denies he will pare back aggressive tariffs plan

Washington Post report said aides were aiming to target only critical imports but president-elect calls it fake news'

President-elect Donald Trump on Monday denied a newspaper report that said his aides were exploring tariff plans that would only cover critical imports.

The story in the Washington Post, quoting so-called anonymous sources, which don't exist, incorrectly states that my tariff policy will be pared back. That is wrong. The Washington Post knows it's wrong. It's just another example of Fake News," he wrote in a post on Truth Social.
