Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says negotiations over tariffs are happening, and about 70 countries have called the White House since 'Liberation Day' to talk trade

"Trying to negotiate individual trade agreements with 70 (or more) countries is difficult and will take time," a research fellow for a libertarian think tank said.

On April 8, 2025, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that the U.S. is actively engaged in tariff negotiations with several key trading partners, aiming to address trade imbalances and protect domestic industries. Bessent emphasized the administration's commitment to fair trade practices and indicated that these negotiations are part of a broader strategy to strengthen the U.S. economy. He also mentioned that the talks are progressing well, with some agreements expected to be finalized in the coming months. The Treasury Secretary's comments come amidst ongoing concerns about global trade tensions and the impact of tariffs on international relations.
