is set to apply to Israeli goods, Trump said maybe not. He said his tough tariffs are getting trading partners to offer big concessions.

Trump and top administration officials continue to make the case that this is about wholly restructuring the U.S. relationship with the global economy, bringing jobs and manufacturing back to the U.S., and making the U.S. wealthy.
