On April 2nd, President Trump announced significant tariffs on around 90 countries, anticipating economic upheaval. Although he delayed implementation, experts like Dan Ives warn these tariffs pose a genuine risk to the economy. Trump has, however, historically backed off extreme measures, earning the nickname 'Taco trade' for his tendency to retreat. Currently, the administration faces uncertainty in trade negotiations, yet the existing tariffs are impacting consumers and could lead to long-term economic challenges. Experts believe tariffs will likely be negotiated down due to their economic burdens.
Trump has imposed higher trade barriers than any president in decades, including a 10 percent universal tariff on most imports, sky-high duties on goods from China.
Despite a major recent setback in court, 'tariffs are not going away,' Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick stated, indicating the persistent nature of these economic measures.
