A White House insider has labeled President Donald Trump’s tariff threats a “theatrical show,” claiming there’s no real deadline or seriousness behind the announcements. The anonymous source told Politico that the tariff talks are “all fake,” driven by Trump’s belief that trade conflict is the most engaging part of his presidency. On Friday, Trump said he signed letters to 12 countries warning of tariffs up to 70%, set to begin August 1. While country names remain undisclosed, Indian officials suspect India is among them, citing failed trade talks. Trump described the offers as “take it or leave it” propositions. (PC: HT)
