President Donald Trump announced a 10% tariff on all goods imported into the US, plus even higher tariffs on dozens of countries with the highest trade deficits with the US.
Speaking at an event at the White House Rose Garden on April 2, US President Donald Trump declared "We are economically independent". With this argument, Mr. Trump announced that the US would impose a 25% tax on imported cars and reciprocal taxes on all countries.
Some of the countries in the high tax group include Vietnam, Cambodia, China, Bangladesh, Thailand, Sri Lanka.
Imports from China will be subject to a 34% tariff, Trump said, in addition to the 20% tariff he has already imposed on the country. Close US allies will not be exempt, including the European Union, which faces a 20% tariff. The US will also impose a 46% tariff on imports from Vietnam.
Canada and Mexico, two of the US's largest trading partners, already face 25% tariffs on many goods and will not be subject to additional tariffs from the new announcement.
A White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the higher tariffs would take effect on April 9 and apply to about 60 countries. The base tariff of 10% would take effect on Saturday, the official said.
In addition, after his remarks, Mr. Trump also signed an executive order to close a trade loophole used to ship low-value packages — those worth $800 or less — from China without paying tariffs, known as “de minimis.” The order applies to goods from China and Hong Kong and takes effect on May 2, according to information from the White House.
