How countries are reacting to Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’ tariff announcements


President Donald Trump announced his wide-ranging slate of reciprocal tariffs on Wednesday, causing varied responses from U.S. trade partners.

Trump unveiled the wide array of tariffs at a White House event, implementing a baseline 10% tariff but also higher rates for various other countries that have similar levies on U.S. products. The president said the 10% rate will go into effect on April 5 at 12:01 a.m. while the higher rates will go into effect on April 9 at 12:01 a.m.
