The tariffs U.S. President Donald Trump imposed last week on dozens of countries are expected to remain in effect rather than be reduced during ongoing trade negotiations, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said Sunday.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday, slapping tariffs on most of America's trading partners set to take effect next week.

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer weighed in on President Trump’s decision to fire the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) commissioner Erika McEntarfer, saying the commander-in-chief has “real concerns” about the jobs numbers that extend beyond the dismal Friday report.

When the economic news is bad, Trump thinks he can just shoot the messenger. Here’s how the firing played out, as well as analysis and reaction.

President Donald Trump on Friday demanded the firing of the civil servant in charge of labor statistics after a weak jobs report cast fresh doubts about the strength of the U.S. economy and job market.
