MOSCOW (Bernama-Sputnik/RIA Novosti): US President Donald Trump has acknowledged that 145% tariffs on China are high but believes that they will decrease substantially, Sputnik/RIA Novosti reports.

"That's true. 145 per cent is very high. And it won't be that high, not going to be that high. It got up to that. We were talking about fentanyl, where, you know, various elements built it up to 145. No, it won't be anywhere near that high," Trump told reporters on Tuesday. "It'll come down substantially, but it won't be zero."
