This is a relatively positive day for trade news for the White House. It looks like the administration lately is putting more of an emphasis on negotiating new trade deals to tamp down concerns that these tariffs might be long lasting.

Well, there were a couple stories this week about top business leaders and the White House. On Monday, the CEOs of Walmart, Target, and Home Depot met with the president about trade.
