White House officials have circulated talking points telling surrogates that President Donald Trump ’s new global tariff regime should not be characterized as a starting point for negotiations, three people say.

Trump himself has told advisers the tariffs are not about setting up negotiations, two of the people said.

The internal guidance comes as stock markets worldwide slump on fears of an escalating trade war.
