As President Donald Trump said the exemptions imposed on smartphones, computers and other electronic products will be temporary, his main economic advisor, Kevin Hasett, doubled Rachel Scott of ABC News that everything will be covered.
When asked if there will be any exemption on an electronics, Hasset said: “What we are talking about is coverage. And what is going to be covered? And almost everything is going to be covered. The question is, what law is applied.”
Hasset also said that Trump’s administrator is close to completing a commercial agreement with more than 10 countries.

“I think we have more than 10 agreements in which there are incredible and incredible incredible offers that are carried out to the US.
As the Trump administration will be presented soon, it is now weighing whether it announces the agreements in a package or individually by country.
“The president will decide when he is satisfied with the deal and when he wants to announce it, and how many at the same time. But I can tell him that progress has been amazing,” said Hasett.
