Trump announces 10% baseline tariff on all imports, higher 'reciprocal' tariffs against select countries
- President Donald Trump announced a 10% baseline tariff on imports and higher rates against some countries with trade surpluses, fulfilling a campaign promise to narrow the tariff gap with foreign nations.
- Trump claimed that America's trading partners have engaged in unfair practices, stating, "They've been taking advantage of the United States for decades," which prompted his tariff decisions.
- Critics argue that Trump's tariffs could harm American businesses and consumers, with William Reinsch stating, "The president’s claims about trade are a huge exaggeration," while Robert D. Atkinson remarked that the approach makes no sense by targeting allies.
- Economists warn that these tariffs may lead to higher prices for consumers and possibly a reduction in purchasing as Americans react to increased living costs.
