WASHINGTON (AP) 鈥� President Donald Trump says he is not planning to extend a 90-day pause on tariffs on most nations beyond July 9, when the negotiating period he set would expire, and his administration will notify countries that the trade penalties will take effect unless there are deals with the United States.

Letters will start going out 鈥減retty soon” before the approaching deadline, he said.

鈥淲e鈥檒l look at how a country treats us 鈥� are they good, are they not so good 鈥� some countries we don鈥檛 care, we鈥檒l just send a high number out,鈥� Trump told Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures” during a wide-ranging interview taped Friday and broadcast Sunday.

Those letters, he said, would say, 鈥淐ongratulations, we鈥檙e allowing you to shop in the United States of America, you鈥檙e going to pay a 25% tariff, or a 35% or a 50% or 10%.鈥�

Trump had played down the deadline at a White House news conference Friday by noting how difficult it would be to work out separate deals with each nation. The administration had set a goal of reaching 90 trade deals in 90 days.

Negotiations continue, but 鈥渢here’s 200 countries, you can’t talk to all of them,鈥� he said in the interview.

Trump also discussed a potential TikTok deal, relations with China, the strikes on Iran and his immigration crackdown.

Here are the key takeaways:

Few details on possible TikTok deal

A group of wealthy investors will make an offer to buy TikTok, Trump said, hinting at a deal that could safeguard the future of the popular social media platform, which is owned by China鈥檚 ByteDance.

鈥淲e have a buyer for TikTok, by the way. I think I鈥檒l need, probably, China approval, and I think President Xi (Jinping) will probably do it,鈥� Trump said.

Trump did not offer any details about the investors, calling them 鈥渁 group of very wealthy people.鈥�

鈥淚’ll tell you in about two weeks,鈥� he said when asked for specifics.

It’s a time frame Trump often cites, most recently about a decision on whether the U.S. military would get directly involved in the war between Israel and Iran. The U.S. struck Iranian nuclear sites just days later.

Earlier this month, Trump signed an executive order to keep TikTok running in the U.S. for 90 more days to give his administration more time to broker a deal to bring the social media platform under American ownership.

It is the third time Trump extended the deadline. The first one was through an executive order on Jan. 20, his first day in office, after the platform went dark briefly when a national ban 鈥� approved by Congress and upheld by the Supreme Court 鈥� took effect.

Trump insists US 鈥榦bliterated鈥� Iran’s nuclear facilities

U.S. strikes on Iran 鈥渙bliterated鈥� its nuclear facilities, Trump insisted, and he said whoever leaked a preliminary intelligence assessment suggesting Tehran’s nuclear program had been set back only a few months should be prosecuted.

Trump said Iran was 鈥渨eeks away鈥� from achieving a nuclear weapon before he ordered the strikes.

鈥淚t was obliterated like nobody鈥檚 ever seen before,鈥� Trump said. 鈥淎nd that meant the end to their nuclear ambitions, at least for a period of time.鈥�

Iran鈥檚 supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said Sunday on X that Trump “exaggerated to cover up and conceal the truth.” Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations, Amir Saeid Iravani, told CBS’ 鈥淔ace the Nation鈥� that his country’s nuclear program is peaceful and that uranium 鈥渆nrichment is our right, and an inalienable right and we want to implement this right鈥� under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. 鈥淚 think that enrichment will not 鈥� never stop.鈥�

Rafael Grossi, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said on CBS that 鈥渋t is clear that there has been severe damage, but it鈥檚 not total damage.”

Grossi also said the U.N. nuclear watchdog has faced pressure to report that Iran had a nuclear weapon or was close to one, but 鈥渨e simply didn鈥檛 because this was not what we were seeing.鈥�

Of the leak of the intelligence assessment, Trump said anyone found to be responsible should be prosecuted. Journalists who received it should be asked who their source was, he said: 鈥淵ou have to do that and I suspect we鈥檒l be doing things like that.鈥�

His press secretary said Thursday that the administration is investigating the matter.

A 鈥榯emporary pass鈥� for immigration raids on farms and hotels?

As he played up his immigration crackdown, Trump offered a more nuanced view when it comes to farm and hotel workers.

鈥淚鈥檓 the strongest immigration guy that there鈥檚 ever been, but I鈥檓 also the strongest farmer guy that there鈥檚 ever been,鈥� the Republican president said.

He noted that he wants to deport criminals, but it鈥檚 a problem when farmers lose their laborers and it destroys their businesses.

Trump said his administration is working on 鈥渟ome kind of a temporary pass鈥� that could give farmers and hotel owners control over immigration raids at their facilities.

Earlier this month, Trump had called for a pause on immigration raids disrupting the farming, hotel and restaurant industries, but a top Homeland Security official followed up with a seemingly contradictory statement. Tricia McLaughlin said there would be 鈥渘o safe spaces for industries who harbor violent criminals or purposely try to undermine鈥� immigration enforcement efforts.

Status of China trade talks

Trump praised a recent trade deal with Beijing over rare earth exports from China and said establishing a fairer relationship will require significant tariffs.

鈥淚 think getting along well with China is a very good thing,鈥� Trump said. 鈥淐hina鈥檚 going to be paying a lot of tariffs, but we have a big (trade) deficit, they understand that.”

Trump said he would be open to removing sanctions on Iranian oil shipments to China if Iran can show 鈥渢hey can be peaceful and if they can show us they’re not going to do any more harm.鈥�

But the president also indicated the U.S. isn鈥檛 afraid to retaliate against Beijing. When Fox News Channel host Maria Bartiromo noted that China has tried to hack U.S. systems and steal intellectual property, Trump replied, 鈥淵ou don鈥檛 think we do that to them?鈥�
