Trump Responds to "TACO Trade" Accusation: "I Didn't Chicken Out"

President Trump addressed the Wall Street analysts' newly coined term "TACO trade", which stands for "Trump Always Chickens Out." During a press conference in the Oval Office, he responded to questions about his tariff threats. "They're saying, 'Trump Always Chickens Out' on your tariff threats," a reporter stated. Trump's response was, "I didn't "chicken out." I reduced China tariffs from 145% to 100%, then lower. I gave the European Union a 50% tariff. They called and asked for a meeting. I gave them a deadline of July 9th. You call that chickening out?" This incident highlights the ongoing tension in trade relations and the political maneuvering surrounding tariffs.
