US
President
Donald
Trump
took
a
swipe
at
countries
affected
by
US
tariffs
on
Tuesday,
claiming
they
were
practically
begging
to
strike
deals
with
him.
Speaking
at
the
National
Republican
Congressional
Committee,
Trump
said
he
was
a
far
superior
negotiator
compared
to
Congress.
President
Donald
Trump
“I’m
telling
you
–
these
countries
are
calling
us
up,
kissing
my
a**
They
are
dying
to
make
a
deal
–
‘please
sir,
make
a
deal,
I’ll
do
anything,
I’ll
do
anything
sir’,” he
said,
mocking
the
tone
of
international
negotiators.
Trump: “Countries are calling me up and kissing my ass.”
They are dying to make a deal. They are saying please, please, Sir, make a deal. I’ll do anything.”

He
also
criticised
members
of
his
own
party
who
believe
Congress
should
be
in
charge
of
trade
negotiations.
“I’ll
see
some
rebel
Republicans
that
want
to
grandstand
say,
‘I
think
that
Congress
should
take
over
negotiations.’
Let
me
tell
you,
you
don’t
negotiate
like
I
negotiate,” he
added,
suggesting
that
if
Congress
were
in
control,
punitive
tariffs
on
China
would
never
have
been
imposed.
He
went
on
to
argue
that
Congress’ approach
would
ultimately
be
detrimental
to
the
country.
“Congress
takes
over
negotiating
to
sell
America
fast
because
you’re
going
to
go
busted.
I
just
saw
it
today.
A
couple
of
your
congressmen
said,
‘I
think
we
should
get
involved
in
the
negotiation
of
the
tariffs,'”
Trump
said,
ridiculing
the
idea.
“Oh,
that’s
what
I
need
–
I
need
some
guy
telling
me
how
to
negotiate.
I
tell
you,
the
happiest
people
in
the
world
would
be
Chinese.
They
wouldn’t
be
paying
104
per
cent.
I
tell
you,
they’d
be
paying
no
per
cent
–
instead,
we’d
be
paying
them
104
per
cent,”
he
added.
Trump
also
reiterated
plans
to
announce
hefty
tariffs
on
pharmaceutical
imports,
aiming
to
encourage
domestic
manufacturing.
“Tariffs
on
pharma
will
be
there
because
we
don’t
make
our
own
pharma
drugs;
they
are
made
in
another
country.
The
same
packet
in
the
US
is
priced
at
USD
10
or
more.
We
are
going
to
tariff
pharma
in
such
a
way
that
companies
will
come
rushing
to
us
very
soon,”
he
said.
“The
advantage
we
have
is,
we
are
very
big
market.
Very
shortly,
we’ll
announce
a
major
tariff
on
pharma,
and
when
these
companies
hear
that,
they
will
leave
China
and
other
countries
because
most
of
their
products
are
sold
here.
And
they
will
be
opening
their
plants
here,” Trump
added.
