January 21, 2025 (MLN): Republican U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday floated the idea of universal tariffs.

However, he stated that the United States was not yet ready for such a step, as Reuters reported.

"We're not ready for that yet," Trump told reporters at the White House.

"We may put it because essentially countries take advantage of the U.S.," he added.

"Well, you put a universal tariff on anybody doing business in the United States because they're coming in and they're stealing our wealth, they're stealing our jobs, they're stealing our companies, they're hurting our companies

 So, you put you put a tariff on to keep them from doing that," Trump, who took office on Monday, added.
