President Donald Trump has told the world they must “right the wrongs” carried out against the United States, warning he is “serious” about his plan to rebuild America’s wealth.

Mr Trump said “many world leaders and business executives” had come to him personally to ask for relief from tariff after his controversial “Liberation Day” announcements.

Following Mr Trump’s announcements, global markets fell before Mr Trump initiated a 90-day pause on tariffs for all countries except China.

“Since our announcement of LIBERATION DAY, many world leaders and business executives have come to me asking for relief from tariffs,” Mr Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“It’s good to see that the world knows we are serious, because WE ARE!

“They must right the wrongs of decades of abuse, but it won’t be easy for them.

“We must rebuild the wealth of our great country, and create true reciprocity.

“But for those who want the easiest path: Come to America, and build in America!”

The post was one of many in a social media flurry from the US president, quickly swapping between sending Easter messages, discussing tariffs and Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a man recently deported by the Trump Administration to a notorious El Salvador prison.

Mr Trump shared his “golden rule of negotiating” with other countries, saying: He who has the gold makes the rules.”

The US president also shared his hope that Russia and Ukraine would make a deal “this week”.

“Both (countries) will then start to do big business with the United States of America, which is thriving, and make a fortune,” Mr Trump wrote on Truth Social.

The flurry of tweets come as DHL confirmed it will suspend business-to-customer shipping for goods to the US values at over $US800 ($1,250), over customs red tape that had created additional delays for clearance times.
