Mere days after” Liberation Day”, when President imposed mutual levies on dozens of countries that have been exploiting the United States on business, the global response has been swift—and telling. U. S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins revealed that more than 50 states have already expressed an opportunity to deal and avoid being hit with stiff fresh deal penalties.

” We now have 50—five-zero—countries that have come to the table over the last few weeks, over the last week, that are ready and desperate to talk to us”, Rollins told CNN’s Jake Tapper on Sunday night. ” We are the financial engine of the world, and it’s ultimately day that people, President Trump, stood up for America”.
The president’s press to rearrange international business in a way that’s good for all countries has sparked repetitive panic among critics, but Rollins dismissed the uproar as early and political. ” People, particularly on your side, on the left, is freaking out”, she told Tapper, who bristled at the idea. ” At the end of the day, this whole idea is about rebuilding an American business around American items, around American market”.

Rollins emphasized that the U. S. has much lived under international tariffs—whether from China, Brazil, Mexico, or perhaps Australia—and said that the latest business plan has hurt American farmers and ranchers for years. ” Mexico won’t get our wheat. Australia didn’t consider our beef”, she said. ” The state of Honduras takes more meat than the full European Union does”.

While Tapper pressed her on whether Trump’s taxes are meant to be continuous or used as a bargaining chip, Rollins leaned into the government’s broader economic vision. ” This is a national security issue. This is about reshoring dozens, hundreds of thousands, thousands of jobs”, she said. ” This isn’t just some new sort of concept that just came up under the Trump years … This started in 1791 with Alexander Hamilton”.
Rollins pointed to the region’s traditional use of safe taxes to create economic hegemony and argued that Trump is just returning to America’s founding perspective. ” For 150 years, that was the approach … and that’s when America went from basically a frontier country to the world’s largest, most exceptional economic power”.
She didn’t claim that the taxes are a strong negotiating device but insisted that Trump’s strategy is multi-faceted—combining taxes with deregulation, tax breaks, and energy independence. ” Right now, we’re two business days into this new American get”, Rollins said. ” The president is resolute in his focus and his boldness and his fearlessness … to ensure that we’re putting America first”.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, in a picture played during the portion, echoed the government’s place plainly:” I don’t think there’s any chance that President Trump’s going to back off his taxes. This is the reordering of international trade”.
With dozens of countries now “burning the smartphone lines” into the White House, as Rollins put it, it’s obvious that Trump’s extreme trade position is forcing the world to adapt—on America’s terms. And it’s about day.
