President Donald Trump says he may not stick to a July 8 deadline when major U.S. tariffs are set to snap back into effect on a slew of countries.

"We can do whatever we want," Trump said at the White House when asked if that early July deadline is set in stone.

The president's answer appeared to refer to a three-month pause on his self-described "reciprocal tariffs" on many nations.
