‘It’s called flexibility’: Trump pushes back on questions over ‘inconsistent’ U.S. tariff policy
Description
March 12, 2025
U.S. President Donald Trump pushed back Wednesday in the Oval Office after a reporter categorized his tariffs as being inconsistent. “There’s no inconsistency — only with NBC,” the president shot back. “I have the right to adjust. I was called by the automakers… the big four and they asked me to do them a favour — could I delay it for a period of four weeks so that they’re not driven into a bit of a disaster for them... It's called flexibility”
