In order for the tariffs to go into effect on June 10, Trump has to sign an executive order directing them to do so on Friday, a White House official confirmed to NBC News. The order would not be binding, the official noted, meaning Trump could still pull the plug on the tariffs over the weekend if the two sides were to strike a deal.
The two sides met for a third straight day on Friday. Administration officials say there has been “significant progress,” but stressed that Trump will have the final say. Marc Short, chief of staff for Vice President Mike Pence, told Fox News that Cipollone was going"to try to hammer out some more details."
