Washington (USA), Apr 2 (LaPresse) – ‘From today, we start making America rich again’. Donald Trump said this at the start of his announcement on tariffs at the White House. ‘This is one of the most important days in America's history,’ the president said, announcing the signing of the “historic” executive order on reciprocal tariffs on America's trading partners. Vice President JD Vance, among others, was present at the ceremony in the Rose Garden of the White House. As of midnight, the US will impose 25% tariffs on all foreign-made cars. This was said by Donald Trump, announcing reciprocal tariffs against US trading partners. The measure had been anticipated in recent days by the president himself. The US ‘can no longer continue with the policy of unilateral economic surrender,’ Trump added in his speech. 20% duties to the EU. This is about half of the 39% that Europe imposes on US-made products, according to the president. The same 50% reciprocity scheme was announced for other countries by the US president.
