Trump announces tariffs at ‘Make America Wealthy Again’ event

President Trump announced tariffs at the "Make America Wealthy Again" event on Wednesday at 4 p.m. EDT in the White House Rose Garden.
Trump stated that tariffs were needed because trade partners had harmed U.S. Industries for 50 years using unfair practices.
The announcement cited studies that purported tariffs during Trump's first term strengthened the U.S. Economy and led to re-shoring.
Trump said, "For decades, our country has been looted, pillaged, raped and plundered by nations near and far, both friend and foe alike".
Economists warned the tariffs, which include 25% on foreign-made vehicles, could trigger a global recession and raise prices for consumers.
