President Trump announced that April 2 would be "Liberation Day," the day he implemented new tariffs to add "tens of billions" to the U.S. economy in the form of retaliatory tariffs, on nations that have trade barriers for U.S. products.
Although devoted to bilateral tariffs, Trump employed the term "flexibility" in its usage, allowing room for adjustments based on individual cases, but sector-specific tariffs on industries such as autos and semiconductors will be reserved from the April 2 announcement, according to reports.
These deals aim to prevent a full-blown trade war and still have high tariffs on countries building walls against American products. Trump's intentions will probably strain alliances and may trigger retaliations, with further meetings in store with China's President Xi Jinping amid tensions in trade.
