In a recent post on social media, President-elect Donald Trump dismissed a Washington Post report suggesting that his administration was planning to scale down its tariff policies. Calling the report “untrue,” Trump reaffirmed his stance on maintaining strong trade measures.

This development comes amidst ongoing speculation over how the incoming administration will handle international trade policies, particularly regarding tariffs imposed during Trump's previous term. The denial adds further clarity to the administration’s approach to trade, as Trump has historically advocated for tariffs as a tool to protect American industries and negotiate better trade terms.
