THE TELEGRAPH: Donald Trump is preparing to impose tariffs on “trillions” of dollars worth of goods next month as he ramps up his global trade war.
The US president has already raised tariffs on roughly $800bn (£616bn) worth of goods from China, Mexico and Canada and introduced levies on global imports of steel and aluminium last week.
White House officials are drawing up plans to impose the levies on imports worth “trillions” from April 2, according to the Washington Post.
Mr Trump has said he would impose “reciprocal tariffs” on that date, which he said would be “a liberating day for our country”. » | Telegraph | Wednesday, March 19, 2025
