Washington: U.S. President Donald Trump further escalated the trade war by announcing all import taxes, higher tariffs on major U.S. trading partners and higher tariffs on Pakistan’s 29% tariffs, stressing the country’s 58% tariffs on U.S. goods.
“Pakistan has been accusing us of 58% of our goods. Therefore, we impose a 29% tariff on their products,” President Trump said in his speech.
Later, he signed an executive order that the assistant signed an administrative vulnerability that traded low-value kits (called “de Minimis”) used to ship from China.
Comprehensive responsibility will create new obstacles around the world’s largest consumer economy, thus reverse the trade liberalization that has shaped the global order for decades. Trade partners are expected to respond with their own countermeasures, which could lead to significantly higher prices for everything from bicycles to wine.
“This is our declaration of independence,” Trump said at an event at the White House Rose Garden.
Trump showed a poster with reciprocity tariffs that were listed, including 34% in China and 20% in the EU, in response to tariffs imposed on U.S. goods.
Other details are unclear as Trump continues to comment reverberate his long-standing complaints about the damage to global trade by American workers and companies.
Since 1947, uncertain financial markets and corporate instability.
The administration said that while no official notice required for implementation has been issued, the new tariffs will take effect immediately after Trump’s announcement.
However, the administration issued a formal notice confirming that a series of automatic import taxes announced by Trump last week will take effect from April 3.
Trump has imposed 20% of all imports from China and 25% of all steel and aluminum, extending it to nearly $150 billion in downstream products.
His advisers believe that tariffs will restore the U.S. manufacturing capabilities that are crucial to the U.S..
Outer economists warn that tariffs can slow down the global economy, increase the risk of recession, and increase the cost of living for ordinary American families by thousands of dollars. Businesses expressed concerns about Trump’s ongoing tariff threats make it difficult for them to plan their operations.
Tariff concerns have slowed down global manufacturing as consumers rush to buy before prices rise, while also driving a surge in sales of automobiles and other imported products.
