US President Donald Trump is set to announce his highly anticipated “Liberation Day” tariffs today, a move that could potentially spark a global trade war.
The tariffs, which will be unveiled at 4:00 pm EDT in the Rose Garden of the White House, are expected to target
countries that have imposed tariffs on the United States.
Trump has been a long-time advocate for tariffs, believing they will help tackle America’s trade imbalances and
promote domestic manufacturing. However, critics argue that the tariffs will ultimately harm US consumers, who will
bear the brunt of the costs, and increase the risk of a damaging recession.
The White House has kept the details of the tariffs under wraps, but it is expected that they will be imposed on a
range of countries, including China, Canada, and Mexico. The European Union has also been critical of Trump’s tariff
policies and has vowed to retaliate if necessary.
