President Donald Trump posted on social media that U.S. soybean growers are hurting "because China is, for 'negotiating' reasons only, not buying. We’ve made so much money on Tariffs, that we are going to take a small portion of that money, and help our Farmers. I WILL NEVER LET OUR FARMERS DOWN!"

Pfizer announced that, after agreeing to expand manufacturing and change its pricing strategy, its imported drugs will not be tariffed.

President Donald Trump posted on social media that he is going to impose a 100% tariff on "any and all movies that are made outside of the United States," a repeat of a declaration he made on social media in May but didn't follow through on (see 2505050003). In the earlier post, he called foreign filming a national security threat, but in this one, he gave no clue what authority he would use.

Days after President Donald Trump said 30% tariffs on upholstered furniture were starting Oct. 1, he wrote on social media, "In order to make North Carolina, which has completely lost its furniture business to China, and other Countries, GREAT again, I will be imposing substantial Tariffs on any Country that does not make its furniture in the United States. Details to follow!!! President DJT"

President Donald Trump said he and Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan would talk about changing Turkey's tariff treatment in their meeting Sept. 25, but after the two-hour meeting ended, there was no announcement on adjusting the scope of Turkey's 15% reciprocal tariffs, or Section 232 tariffs on steel.

President Donald Trump said that he'll meet Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva next week after defending his tariffs on Brazil at the United Nations General Assembly.

President Donald Trump said he and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan have been working on trade and military deals, “including the large scale purchase of Boeing aircraft, a major F-16 Deal, and a continuation of the F-35 talks, which we expect to conclude positively.” He said that Erdoğan will visit the White House on Sept. 25.

President Donald Trump wrote on social media Sept. 19: "I just completed a very productive call with President Xi of China. We made progress on many very important issues including Trade, Fentanyl, the need to bring the War between Russia and Ukraine to an end, and the approval of the TikTok Deal. I also agreed with President Xi that we would meet at the APEC Summit in South Korea, that I would go to China in the early part of next year, and that President Xi would, likewise, come to the United States at an appropriate time."

U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he and President Donald Trump discussed how to "decisively increase the pressure" on Russian President Vladimir Putin "to get him to agree to a peace deal."

When asked whether a broader trade agreement might be reached with China, beyond the current tariff truce, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said each of the four meetings has become more productive. There will need to be a fifth meeting before the truce expires Nov. 10, he told CNBC from London on Sept. 16. "I think the Chinese now sense a trade deal is more possible," he said.
