On the 13th (local time), U.S. President Donald Trump announced upcoming reciprocal tariffs on various countries.
President Trump stated through his social media platform Truth Social, 'It's been a fantastic three weeks, perhaps the best ever. But today is an important day. Reciprocal Tariffs!! Make America Great Again!!'
Reciprocal tariffs mean that the U.S. will impose tariffs on products from other countries at the same rate those countries apply to U.S. goods.
White House spokesperson Caroline Levitt had previously stated during a press briefing that the reciprocal tariff announcement would come 'before Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's White House visit on the 13th.'
Since taking office last month, President Trump has intensified the trade war, pressuring trading partners with high tariffs to address trade imbalances.
Following the 10% additional tariff imposed on China on the 4th, he decided to implement a 25% tariff without exception on all imported steel and aluminum starting from the 12th of next month.
