"Ready To Fight": How World Leaders Reacted To Donald Trump's Reciprocal Tariffs

Escalating a global trade war, US President Donald Trump unleashed a barrage of reciprocal tariffs to match duties put on US goods by other countries. The American commander-in-chief said he would impose a 10 per cent baseline tariff on all imports to the United States and higher duties on some of the country's biggest trading partners.

"It's our declaration of independence," Trump said at an event in the White House Rose Garden. "We will establish a minimum baseline tariff of 10 per cent."
