Despite comments from other administration officials that over 50 countries are calling the White House to negotiate, the tariff strategy President Trump announced Wednesday will stay in place, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said on CBS.

"There is no postponing," he said. "They are definitely going to stay in place for days and weeks."

The tariffs will bring back manufacturing jobs and make the U.S. more self-sufficient building critical products like medicine, ships and semiconductors, Lutnick said.
