The United States could engage in talks with other countries on new trade arrangements once U.S. tariffs “reset the baseline” with those countries, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on March 16.

In an interview with CBS News’ “Face the Nation,” Rubio said that President Donald Trump’s tariffs are meant to rebalance the United States’ international economic standing after decades of unfair global trade practices.
