Trump is expected to announce mutual definitions
Trump is expected to talk to correspondents about the new mutual definitions within a few minutes, at 1 pm East time.
Although he did not provide many details about these new definitions, Trump said that he believes that mutual definitions “pay a country a lot or receive us a lot and do the same.”
“They accuse us, and we are accusing them,” Trump said at a press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Shearo Ishiba.
There is a little renewal on the definitions that Trump has already placed: there is a 10 % new tariff on all imports from China and a 25 % global tariff on all imports of steel and aluminum. Trump stopped a 25 % tariff tariff that was supposed to apply to all Canadian and Mexican imports until March 4.

We are still waiting for Trump to announce the new definition list. Keep in mind that the announcement was originally promised on Tuesday or Wednesday, and it had to be paid.
Trump said earlier today that “the day is the big” and the White House press secretary Caroline Levitte confirmed earlier this morning that Trump will speak at 1:00 p.m. and said, “This is something that he believes strongly.”
But still, accurate details about what these definitions were mysterious. Even Trump Trade Advisers said Peter Navarro CNN The advertisement can be an investigation of how to implement mutual definitions.

Gop Blast Past Plast for large spending discounts, larger tax discounts

Progressive lawmakers are the newly released Republicans BudgetWhich calls for a reduction in federal funding by $ 2 trillion and tax reducing by $ 4.5 trillion.
In a press call hosted by the group’s families on billionaires this morning, actor Greg Kassar, Democrats in Texas and head of the Progressive Assembly in Congress described the Republicans’ proposal as “the theft of the American working class to hand over our money to the wealthy.”
“Republicans in the House of Representatives will receive health care and food from the people who need it in order to give huge tax exemptions to billionaires,” Kassar said. “Republicans choose a battle with working Americans, and this is a battle that I think the Republicans are governed by loss.”
Looking at the majority of the Republicans, it is still unclear whether they will be able to enhance their budget proposal, as the right -wing lawmakers demand more discounts in spending and Democrats seem united in their opposition to the plan.
The White House said it targeted 5 % to 10 % of the federal workforce that accepts the acquisition, which would have reached hundreds of thousands of acceptance of the acquisition.
However, the White House press secretary Caroline Levitt appears to be in brief comments on reporters on Thursday morning saying that the White House “hit the numbers we wanted” after the employee management office announced 75,000 acceptable federal employees.
“This will save millions of dollars for American taxpayers, and this is exactly what we wanted,” Levitte said.
On Wednesday, a federal judge filed a temporary pause to the program, nicknamed “FORK In The Road”, after the labor union, which represents federal employees, filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for its lack of existence.
The acquisition offer was sent to 2.3 million employees working in the federal government. Those who work for the American army or postal service have been excluded from the program.
