## Summary

Trump signed a proclamation on October 28 determining that imported robots and industrial machinery threaten US national security, but did not impose tariffs for now; instead he directed the Commerce Department and the US Trade Representative to negotiate with trading partners within 180 days, and to consider measures such as tariffs and quotas if talks fail.
