U.S. President Donald Trump is stepping up pressure on his senior advisers to adopt a more aggressive approach to tariffs. The administration is gearing up for a major escalation in its trade war strategy, as reported by the Washington Post, which cited four informed sources.
Despite recommendations from allies within Wall Street and Capitol Hill to embrace a more cautious stance, Trump is vehemently advocating for comprehensive trade actions. These measures are aimed at fundamentally reshaping the U.S. economy, according to the report.
