The new rates ranged from 10% to 49% on the first board and up to 50% on later boards.

"We subsidize a lot of countries and keep them going and keep them in business," Trump said about trade partners, specifically Mexico and Canada. "Why are we doing this? I mean, at what point do we say you got to work for yourselves."
