Trump implemented a series of tariffs to diminish the US trade deficit, starting with a 10% baseline tax on imports. Experts cautioned that these tariffs might destabilize global markets and the US economy. Following the implementation, confusion arose over the tariff calculations. The EU reacted by suspending its retaliatory tariffs for 90 days. Trump escalated his position, threatening higher tariffs on EU imports and delaying some implementation deadlines to negotiate further with European partners.
Experts have warned that tariffs could cause chaos for global markets and disrupt the US economy at home. The calculations for the tariff rates cause widespread confusion.
Trump aimed at reducing the country's trade deficit, initiating a 10% baseline tax on imports across the board starting April 5, along with higher rates for specific countries.
