President Trump got into a heated back-and-forth Tuesday with ABC News anchor Terry Moran over his controversial tariffs during a one-on-one sitdown to mark his first 100 days back in the White House — but promised that “everything’s going to be just fine.”
Moran pressed Trump, 78, on the 145% levies he’s imposed China, arguing that the tariff is bound to “raise prices on everything” – a claim the president strongly disagreed with.

Moran pressed Trump on the 145% levies he’s imposed China, arguing that the tariff is bound to “raise prices on everything.” ABC News“You don’t know that, you don’t know whether or not China’s going to eat it,” Trump interjected at one point in the interview.
“That’s mathematics,” Moran shot back.
“China probably will eat those tariffs,” Trump insisted.
“But at 145%, they basically can’t do much business with the United States,” the president continued.
“And, they were making from us a trillion dollars a year, they were ripping us off like nobody’s ever ripped us off.”
“Everything’s going to be just fine. It wouldn’t have been if I didn’t do this.”
