The president said of the plans: "Different amounts of money, different amounts of tariffs and somewhat different statements."

With just five days remaining in the tariff moratorium, the White House is expected to begin delivering a message to a dozen or so countries: Time is up, and here’s your new rate.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday his administration later in the day will begin sending letters to 10 to 12 countries informing them of the tariff rate their products will face in the United States.
