Trump tariffs tip world into trade war abyss
Trump, speaking from the White House Rose Garden, introduced a 10 percent tariff on all imported goods and additional punitive tariffs targeting around 60 countries with what he called "unfair trade practices".
All through Thursday morning, Donald Trump was so content with the alarmed worldwide response to “Liberation Day” that he did the one thing which is alien to him.
On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced his much-anticipated reciprocal tariffs on more than 180 countries designed to reset global trade and return manufacturing to the United States.
The president promised that “Jobs and factories will come roaring back into our country.” He framed it not just as an economic issue, but a question of national security that threatens “our very way of life.”
