President Donald Trump announced nearly 15 new tariffs that will take effect Aug. 1, as the countries have not been willing to make a deal with the United States.

July 9 was the initial deadline for Trump to reach 90 trade deals in 90 days, but he's looking to push that deadline back after it became clear the president couldn't meet his "deals" goal.

Speaking to MSNBC on Monday, White House correspondent Vaughn Hillyard said he spoke to Peter Navarro, senior counselor to the president on trade, about the new tariffs.

Hillyard said that he asked why Trump couldn't make 90 deals in 90 days as he promised.

Navarro claimed, "Because the rest of the countries have it so good, they're dragging their heels."

Hillary then asked why countries should take the United States seriously about the new Aug. 1 deadline when it appears Trump is willing to push back the date repeatedly.

"Again, if, for example, the stock market falls and [Navarro] told me, 'It doesn't matter from the sense that we're collecting billions of dollars on behalf of the American public. I think this is a live ball here at this White House as we watch these new deadlines come into fruition."

For over a year, economists have been saying that Trump's tariffs are not being paid by the countries exporting the goods.
