NEW: The White House says it will veto a Senate bill that would mandate congressional approval for new tariffs.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average had fallen 750 points, or 2% , on Monday .

The markets briefly reversed in the morning after a false report that Trump was considering a pause in his tariff plans.

If Trump implements his plans, tariffs on imports from China would reach a combined 104% .

White House trade adviser Peter Navarro says countries need to do much more than lower their own tariff rates to reach deals.

Navarro: "Let’s take Vietnam ,” he says, “When they come to us and say, We’ll go to zero tariffs,’ that means nothing to us because it's the non-tariff cheating that matters.” Ackman apologizes for his criticism of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick .
