Trump estudia retrasar la imposición de los aranceles mientras busca cerrar acuerdos comerciales con países aliados

El presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, afirmó este miércoles que su gobierno está dispuesto a extender los plazos para que sus socios comerciales puedan negociar acuerdos y evitar la entrada en vigor de los denominados “aranceles recíprocos”, cuya suspensión temporal vence el próximo 9 de julio.
“En cierto momento, simplemente enviaremos cartas (a los países). Y creo que entenderán eso, diciéndoles ‘este es el acuerdo’. Pueden aceptarlo o rechazarlo. No tienen que hacer uso de él. No tienen que comprar en Estados Unidos, como ya dije”, declaró Trump a la prensa a su llegada al Kennedy Center de Washington, donde asistió a un espectáculo musical.
El mandatario indicó que esas cartas se enviarán “en una semana y media o dos semanas”, con el objetivo de detallar los términos de los acuerdos propuestos. Trump señaló que la estrategia sigue la línea de la comunicación que ya mantuvo con la Unión Europea.

La semana pasada, la Casa Blanca confirmó que el representante comercial de Estados Unidos, Jamieson Greer, remitió una carta a varios socios internacionales recordando la proximidad del 9 de julio, fecha en la que finalizará la pausa establecida en abril para la aplicación de los aranceles. Washington había anunciado entonces un compás de espera para facilitar negociaciones bilaterales.
“Estamos negociando con Japón, con Corea del Sur. Estamos negociando con muchos de ellos. Estamos negociando con unos 15 países. Pero, como saben, tenemos más de 150 (en cola), y eso no es posible (gestionarlo)”, sostuvo Trump al ser consultado sobre los próximos acuerdos comerciales que buscará su administración.
El jefe del Ejecutivo también se refirió al reciente entendimiento con China, alcanzado el martes en Londres. “Logramos un gran acuerdo con China. Estamos muy contentos con él. Tenemos todo lo que necesitamos y nos va a ir muy bien con él. Y espero que a ellos también. Fue un acuerdo muy importante”, señaló.
Según Trump, el pacto incluye la imposición de un 55% de aranceles sobre productos chinos, aunque diversas fuentes cuestionan la cifra, al considerar que el mandatario sumó gravámenes que ya estaban en vigor antes del inicio de su actual mandato. Por parte de China, se mantendrían tarifas del 10% sobre importaciones estadounidenses.

El acuerdo contempla otras cláusulas como la aprobación de visados para estudiantes chinos en universidades estadounidenses y el suministro de minerales de tierras raras desde China hacia Estados Unidos, un componente estratégico en sectores como la electrónica, la defensa y la energía.
Desde que se suspendió la aplicación de los aranceles recíprocos en abril, Washington ha firmado un único acuerdo formal con el Reino Unido. Ese documento, de carácter esquemático, se selló con un país con el que Estados Unidos mantiene un superávit comercial. El pacto con China, aunque anunciado, aún requiere aprobación formal.

El gobierno estadounidense busca rediseñar su política comercial con múltiples países de manera bilateral, lo que ha implicado una revisión de acuerdos previos y una estrategia de presión arancelaria para impulsar negociaciones más favorables a los intereses estadounidenses.

Trump threatens Hamas if Gaza ceasefire collapses as JD Vance to visit Israel

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
As it was announced that Vice President JD Vance would visit Israel, President Donald Trump once again warned Hamas, saying the U.S.-brokered Gaza truce must hold, and issued another blunt warning to the terrorist group.
During a White House meeting with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on Monday, Trump warned, «We’re going to eradicate them. If we have to, they’ll be eradicated. And they know that,» he told reporters, and stressed the deal’s broad backing — «59 countries that agreed to the deal» — while insisting the ceasefire remains in place and warning that any further violence would be met with decisive action.
While details of Vance’s trip to Israel have yet to be announced, Washington’s diplomacy is extending beyond Jerusalem, as U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner were expected to travel to Egypt from Israel for talks with Hamas representatives, underscoring a push to move from preserving the ceasefire toward negotiating the more fraught next phase.

At Monday’s meeting with the Australian pm, Trump was asked by a reporter whether the U.S. would put boots on the ground, Trump said his administration does not plan to deploy troops and that other countries — and Israel itself — could act if needed.
«We don’t need to, because we have many countries, as you know, signed on to this deal,» he said. «We’ve had countries calling me when they saw some of the killing with Hamas, saying we’d love to go in and take care of the situation ourselves. In addition, you have Israel — they would go in, in two minutes. If I asked him to go in, I could tell him, go in and take care of it. But right now, we haven’t said that. We’re going to give it a little chance, and hopefully there will be a little less violence.»
He added a blunt warning about Hamas’ capacity and support. «But right now, you know, they’re violent people. Hamas has been very violent, but they don’t have the backing of Iran anymore… They have to be good, and if they’re not good, they’ll be eradicated — because absolutely we can, and we have the capacity to do so.»
The comments came as senior U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met with Israeli leaders to shore up the fragile, Trump-brokered, 20-step ceasefire plan after a weekend flare-up. Hamas terrorists killed two Israeli soldiers, prompting Israeli strikes against the terror group. Despite the violence, both Israel and Hamas publicly recommitted to the truce.

HAMAS ACCEPTS TRUMP PEACE PLAN ENDING 2 YEARS OF WAR IN GAZA, RETURNING HOSTAGES
On the ground, the IDF took custody of the coffin of another deceased hostage. A joint IDF–ISA statement asked the public to «act with sensitivity and wait for the official identification, which will first be provided to the families,» while adding that, «Hamas is required to uphold the agreement and take the necessary steps to return all the deceased hostages.» Israeli officials say Hamas could hand over six more bodies immediately out of the 15 still believed in Gaza, though some remains may be impossible to recover amid widespread destruction.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, speaking in the Knesset, struck a hard line while stressing close U.S.–Israel coordination. He warned the fighting was far from over and said violations would carry a «very heavy price,» while praising the «unprecedented closeness» with Washington.

Separately, the IDF said Southern Command troops have begun marking a so-called yellow line inside Gaza — 3.5-meter concrete barriers topped by yellow poles placed roughly every 200 meters — to establish «tactical clarity on the ground» as part of the ceasefire arrangement. The military said the marking will continue «in the coming period» as forces work to remove threats and defend Israeli civilians.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
EXCLUSIVE: Trump administration agencies are working to expose the Biden administration’s «prolific and dangerous weaponization of government,» Fox News Digital has learned.
The Interagency Weaponization Working Group (IWWG) is made up of officials from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Justice Department, the FBI, the CIA and more.
Officials told Fox News Digital that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard initiated the Interagency Weaponization Working Group, which has been meeting biweekly since April to «share information, coordinate, and execute.»

DOJ TASK FORCE FINDS NUMEROUS INSTANCES OF ANTI-CHRISTIAN GOVERNMENT BIAS UNDER BIDEN
«The American people made a clear choice when they elected President Trump — to stop the Biden administration’s prolific and dangerous weaponization of government agencies against the American people and the Constitution,» Gabbard told Fox News Digital. «I stood up this working group to start the important work of interagency coordination under President Trump’s leadership to deliver accountability.»
She added: «True accountability is the first step toward lasting change.»
Officials told Fox News Digital the group was created to streamline information sharing across the government in support of the Trump executive order.

«Joe Biden’s Department of Justice targeted President Trump and anyone close to him, prosecuted pro-life advocates, treated parents at school board meetings as domestic terrorists, and destroyed public trust in federal law enforcement,» Attorney General Pam Bondi told Fox News Digital.
GABBARD FIRES ‘DEEP STATE’ HEADS OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE COUNCIL TO ROOT OUT ‘POLITICIZATION OF INTEL’
«Under President Trump, we are working every day alongside our partners to end weaponization and restore one tier of justice for all,» Bondi said.
Meanwhile, FBI Director Kash Patel told Fox News Digital that, «for years, Biden’s DOJ turned federal law enforcement into a political weapon.»

«Going after President Trump, pro-life Americans, and parents at school boards while letting real criminals run wild,» Patel told Fox News Digital. «Under Preisdent Trump, we’ve ripped that agenda out by the roots.»

Patel added: «We’re restoring equal justice under the law, one standard, one mission: Protect the American people.»
Officials involved pointed Fox News Digital to President Trump’s executive order, which says interagency coordination is needed to «ensure accountability for the previous administration’s weaponization of the federal government against the American people.»
GABBARD ESTABLISHES NEW INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY TASK FORCE TO RESTORE TRANSPARENCY
The executive order had directed Gabbard, in consultation with the heads of other appropriate departments and agencies within the intelligence community, to «take all appropriate action to review the activities of the intelligence community over the last four years and identify any instances» of the weaponization of government.
Officials told Fox News Digital that the interagency group is «working to undo the Biden administration’s whole-of-government approach to abuse the powers of government against the American people.»
«The weaponization of government against Americans did not happen in one agency, one time,» an official explained. «It happened repeatedly over the duration of the Biden administration.»

«That’s why, in order to depoliticize and deweaponize the government, it is important to understand what agencies carried out, what roles, and why,» the official continued. «The IWWG is essential for coordinating across agencies.»
But officials said the media has attempted to «negatively spin lawful oversight and accountability» by claiming it is a way for the Trump administration to weaponize the government against its political opponents.

«The irony is, accusing the Interagency Weaponization Working Group of targeting the president’s political opponents is classic projection and could not be further from the truth,» an official said.
The official said that there is «no targeting of any individual person for retribution.»

«IWWG is simply looking at available facts and evidence that may point to actions, reports, agencies, individuals, and more who illegally weaponized the government in order to carry out political attacks,» the official said.
«The only people who fear accountability are the ones who never expected to face it,» the official continued. «Oversight is not the problem—abuse of power is.»
