White House internal talking points say tariffs aren’t open to negotiation – report

The Washington Post has obtained an internal talking points memo from the White House that says the new tariff regime shouldn’t be characterized as a tarting point for negotiation. Instead, they should be characterized as a response to a national emergency. The report also said Trump himself told advisors that the tariffs are not about setting up negotiations.

This doesn’t sound good but it could have to do with the legality of ’emergency’ tariffs, and a potential congressional or legal challenge.
