Donald Trump Announces "Reciprocal Tariffs" On All Nations As 'Trade War' Begins

Donald Trump has gone to war with the rest of the world, not with tanks, guns, ships, or fighter jets, but with tariffs. "Liberation Day", as he calls it, is here. But it isn't about attaining freedom in any way. Rather, it a retaliatory move which may leave the global marketplace devastated. He has announced the tariffs, and will sign the presidential order shortly. They will come into effect starting midnight US time (Eastern TIme). Several world leaders, heads of states, economists, and financial experts have reaspned that "a trade war will benefit noone". Like all wars, it is the people and the economy which will suffer the most. But President Trump has been detemined to put it to test. "Let's see what happens," Mr Trump has said. "The reciprocal tariffs will be effective immediately," the White House has announced.
