U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday (July 7) that the August 1 effective date for U.S. tariffs was firm, but that he was open to extensions if countries made proposals.
Asked if the deadline was firm, Trump said: "I would say firm, but not 100% firm. If they call up and they say we'd like to do something a different way, we're going to be open to that."
