What is 'Liberation Day?' Trump reciprocal tariffs will hit on April 2, and they could roil the economy even more
Briefly

President Trump plans to introduce reciprocal tariffs on imports beginning April 2, aiming to level the playing field by charging import taxes similar to those imposed by other nations. While the recent 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico have heightened market fears of trade wars, Trump suggests the forthcoming tariffs may be lenient despite his strong rhetoric. The initiative targets countries with significant trade imbalances, including China and various European nations, in hopes of renegotiating trade agreements to favor American interests more effectively.
"For DECADES we have been ripped off and abused by every nation in the World, both friend and foe... it is finally time for the Good Ol' USA to get some of that MONEY, and RESPECT, BACK."
"The goal is to slap a broad range of tariffs on countries with whom the U.S. has large trade imbalances... those countries include Germany, Ireland, Italy, Vietnam, Japan, Taiwan, and of course, China."
