Karoline Leavitt pushes back on Fox News's Jacqui Heinrich asking, "Why did the White House announce this deal with the UK before all of the details were finished?"
Transcript
00:00Why did the White House announce this deal with the UK before all of the details were
00:04finished?
00:05That's not true, actually.
00:07I saw the fact sheet, I saw the deal as well before the President brought all of you in
00:12the Oval Office in the effort of transparency.
00:15You had the President and the Prime Minister on the phone talking to all of you directly
00:19about how this was a great deal, a phenomenal deal, and discussions will continue.
00:25But as I spoke to our Ambassador Greer yesterday, this is how trade deals work.
00:29You set an initial agreement.
00:31You set the framework.
00:32You set up the deal.
00:33And then, of course, you know, T's have to be crossed and I's have to be dotted.
00:38But this deal is a good deal, and the numbers are determined, and all of the market access
00:43that I just discussed will remain.
00:44Does that mean that the 10 percent baseline is going to still be there at the end when
00:50all of the other details are ironed out?
00:52The President is committed to the 10 percent baseline tariff not just for the United Kingdom
00:56but for his trade negotiations with all other countries as well.
00:59Permanently, even after the deals are done.
01:01Like, that is going to remain.
01:02The President is determined to continue with that 10 percent baseline tariff.
01:06I just spoke to him about it earlier.
01:07Stephen.
