Donald Trump has a new name for his tariffs plan–“one stop shopping.” The president used the phrase in a post on his Truth Social account on Tuesday, claiming that a “top team” from South Korea was on its way to Washington to negotiate about the 25 percent levy he was planning to charge the country. Trump claimed that he wasn’t just going to talk about the tariffs but would include other deals in the negotiations. He said he had spoken to the country’s acting president and discussed issues like shipbuilding, payments for military protection, and an Alaska pipeline. “We are likewise dealing with many other countries, all of whom want to make a deal with the United States,” he wrote, adding: “Like with South Korea, we are bringing up other subjects that are not covered by Trade and Tariffs, and getting them negotiated also. ‘ONE STOP SHOPPING’ is a beautiful and efficient process!!!” Apparently, the shopping deal isn’t available to China just yet. “We are waiting for their call,” said Trump.
