More than 70 countries have approached the White House for talks following Trump’s tariffs.
There's been no let up on China though – the US has promised to hit them with a 50% increase tomorrow.
That will take China's total tariff rate to 104%.
US Correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking the world's biggest company, Apple, has been dealt a massive blow.
