Trump says countries are 'kissing my ass' over trade tariffs<br /><br />US President Donald Trump on April 8, 2025 says countries are 'kissing my ass' to secure trade deals hours before increased tariffs were levied on China. Trump, speaking at the National Republican Congressional Committee dinner said, 'They are dying to make a deal. Please, please, sir, make a deal. I'll do anything' as supporters were heard laughing in the background. Investors and political leaders are still trying to figure out if Trump's tariffs are permanent or a pressure tactic to win concessions from other countries.<br /><br />US NETWORK POOL / REUTERS VIDEO<br /><br />Subscribe to The Manila Times Channel - https://tmt.ph/YTSubscribe <br /><br />Visit our website at https://www.manilatimes.net <br /><br />Follow us: <br />Facebook - https://tmt.ph/facebook <br />Instagram - https://tmt.ph/instagram <br />Twitter - https://tmt.ph/twitter <br />DailyMotion - https://tmt.ph/dailymotion <br /><br />Subscribe to our Digital Edition - https://tmt.ph/digital <br /><br />Check out our Podcasts: <br />Spotify - https://tmt.ph/spotify <br />Apple Podcasts - https://tmt.ph/applepodcasts <br />Amazon Music - https://tmt.ph/amazonmusic <br />Deezer: https://tmt.ph/deezer <br />Tune In: https://tmt.ph/tunein<br /><br />#TheManilaTimes<br />#worldnews <br />#donaldtrump <br />#tarrifs
