President Donald Trump said that he’s fired “some” White House National Security Council officials. The firings on Thursday come a day after far-right activist Laura Loomer raised concerns directly to him about staff loyalty.

Mr. Trump insists that these actions are his way of standing up for farmers and ranchers. Other nations such as Japan, China and India have charged higher tariffs than the U.S. for importing American farm goods.

WASHINGTON—President Trump is giving more time for investors to attempt to pull off a highly complex deal to operate TikTok in the U.S., sparing the Chinese-owned social-video app from a national ban.

Analysts at Wedbush Securities and Goldman Sachs as well as top economist Larry Summers predicted much economic pain ahead.

Trump said he would be willing to lower tariffs if countries offer him something "phenomenal," like China with a TikTok deal.

Two days after sending the economy reeling by announcing widespread tariffs, President Donald Trump insisted his trade policies will never change as he remained ensconced in a bubble of wealth and power in Florida.

Here are five curious aspects of what Trump unveiled. In his remarks in the White House Rose Garden, Trump contended that his announcement was about fairness, about imposing tariffs on imports from countries that impose tariffs and other obstacles on American products.
