On Sunday, US President Donald Trump robustly defended his tariff strategy, emphasizing its efficacy in protecting national interests. In a post on Truth Social, Trump insisted that his administration's speedy and decisive approach was crucial for achieving robust national security outcomes.

Trump's tariff actions were outlined as an essential part of fortifying US economic strength and foreign relations. Citing successful trade deals and improved international relations, Trump argued that tariffs had made the country wealthier, safer, and more respected globally.
