Trump said tariffs will be the "greatest thing we've ever done as a country."
President Donald Trump is defending his decision to pause some tariffs to Canada and Mexico for another month -- a notable reversal after imposing historic levies on the key U.S. trading partners earlier this week, causing markets to tumble.
On Friday, Trump signed more executive orders at the White House before he convened a first-ever cryptocurrency summit with industry leaders.
President Donald Trump amended his executive order on tariffs impacting Chinese goods to add the additional 10% tariffs that he announced Monday.
The amended executive order says that tariffs on imports from China will now total 20%.

The Senate will vote Monday on whether to advance the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, which aims to codify President Donald Trump's executive order barring transgender athletes from participating in women's sports.
The legislation will need 60 votes to advance to debate when it comes up later Monday afternoon. It's unlikely that Democrats will provide the necessary support to advance it, but the vote could prove a politically challenging one for some vulnerable moderates.
In floor remarks Monday, Majority Leader John Thune called the vote a "time of choosing for Democrats," arguing that policies that permit transgender athletes in women's sports take away opportunities from female athletes.
The House has already passed a version of this bill. The Senate considered it as an amendment to a government funding bill last year. At the time, all Democrats opposed it, though voting to support it at that time could have risked a government shutdown.

In remarks at the White House on Monday, President Donald Trump said the proposed tariffs on Mexico and Canada would indeed be implemented.
"The tariffs you know, they're all set. They go into effect tomorrow," Trump said.
After Friday's blow-up in the Oval Office with Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy, ABC News Senior Politics Correspondent Rachel Scott asked Trump: "What do you need to see from President Zelenskyy to restart these negotiations?"
"Well, I just think he should be more appreciative because this country has stuck with them through thick and thin," the president responded.
When pressed by another reporter if the mineral resource deal is now dead or if it can be revived, Trump said to tune into his joint address to Congress on Tuesday night.
"Well I'll let you know. We're making a speech. You probably heard about it tomorrow night, so I'll let you know tomorrow night," Trump said. "But no, I don't think so. I think it's, look, it's a great deal for us."
