President-elect Donald Trump is still pushing for universal tariffs on imports from overseas as his trade advisers are working to craft a strategy to translate his campaign pledges into policy, according to multiple people familiar with the matter.

"The story in the Washington Post, quoting so-called anonymous sources, which don't exist, incorrectly states that my tariff policy will be pared back. That is wrong. The Washington Post knows it's wrong.

President-elect Donald Trump denies a Washington Post report that he would consider applying a tariff to all countries but be limited to specific critical imports.
