Trump tariffs: what are reciprocal tariffs and how will they affect US consumers?
Briefly

Donald Trump has proposed a new wave of tariffs on US imports, claiming that the US will impose taxes equivalent to those imposed by other countries on US goods. This move is part of his strategy to reshape the global economic landscape, and while he has previously announced significant tariffs, many have not yet been enforced. Trump views tariffs as a means of promoting domestic manufacturing and leveraging negotiations with other countries, especially regarding immigration and drug trafficking issues. His administration is currently investigating which countries should face import duties.
Trump's approach to tariffs aims to align US import taxes with those imposed by other nations. He believes fairness can be achieved through reciprocity.
Tariffs are viewed by Trump as a bargaining tool to pressure foreign nations into complying with US interests, particularly concerning trade and immigration.
