US President Donald Trump has expressed skepticism about the need to extend the July 9 deadline for securing deals with countries to avoid higher tariffs. In an interview on Fox News’s Sunday Morning Futures, he stated that he does not believe he will require an extension. When asked if he might still do so, Trump replied that it would be “no big deal” if he were to need one. This suggests that the US is prepared for a smooth transition of trade agreements by July 9 as planned.
