Trump announces a large-scale tariff plan for all countries.
Trump plans to introduce new tariff restrictions
U.S. President Donald Trump is preparing a plan to introduce new tariff restrictions for countries around the world. The announcement of these tariffs is scheduled for April 2, which Trump has called 'Liberation Day'.
Trump announced this to reporters aboard Air Force One.
New reciprocal tariffs will correspond to the rates that other countries impose on American exports
This statement contradicts previous comments from White House economic advisor Kevin Hassett, who noted that the administration intends to focus only on countries with the largest trade imbalance.
During his presidency, Trump has already implemented a number of protectionist measures, including tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, raising tariffs on Chinese goods, and tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico.
