Trump will explain tariffs on electronics on Monday

President Donald Trump told ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Mary Bruce on Monday that he was "not looking at" a pause on tariffs.

Asked about the apparent reversal and his credibility by another reporter on Wednesday, Trump said "you have to have flexibility."

"I could say, here's a wall and I'm going to go through that wall. I'm going to go through it no matter what. Keep going. And you can't go through the wall. Sometimes you have to be able to go under the wall, around the wall or over the wall," Trump said.

"But over the last few days it looked pretty glum," he acknowledged, before quickly touting the uptick in the markets after his pause announcement.

President Donald Trump was asked whether the change in the bond markets was a factor in changing his tariff policy.

The president said he was watching bond market and called it "tricky."

"I was watching it, but if you look at it now, it's beautiful. The bond market right now is beautiful. but, yeah, I saw last night where people were getting a little queasy," he said.

Trump quickly changed the subject and praised Republicans for supporting his policies.

"A deal can be made with everyone," President Donald Trump said as he took some questions in the White House driveway after announcing a pause for some tariffs for nations that want to negotiate.

"A deal is going to be made with every one of them, and they'll be fair deals. I just want fair deals," Trump said.

Trump said he believed China wants to make a deal, despite tariff tit-for-tats escalating between the U.S. and Beijing.

President Donald Trump was asked about his change in tariff policy and said he was honored to have hit the tariffs.

"I thought people were... getting yippie," he said.

The president continued to slam China over its policies and warned that "Nothing's over yet."
