"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands: one Nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all".
Sunday, April 22nd, 2025 | An Overview Of Yesterday.
On April 2, 2025, in the United States, President Donald Trump announced a significant shift in trade policy by unveiling a series of sweeping tariffs aimed at reshaping global trade dynamics. Dubbed "Liberation Day" by Trump, the initiative included a baseline 10% tariff on all imports, set to take effect on April 5, alongside higher "reciprocal" tariffs targeting approximately 90 countries with elevated trade barriers against the U.S., effective April 9. These reciprocal rates varied, with notable examples including a 34% tariff on China (bringing the total to 54% with existing levies), 20% on the European Union, and 25% on Canadian and Mexican automobiles, despite their exclusion from the initial reciprocal list due to the USMCA agreement. Trump framed the tariffs as a means to address trade deficits, protect American industry, and encourage domestic manufacturing, claiming they would usher in a "golden age" for the U.S. economy. The announcement, made in the White House Rose Garden, sparked immediate reactions: markets experienced volatility with U.S. stocks and the dollar declining, while countries like China urged cancellation of the measures and vowed countermeasures. The European Union and others signaled potential retaliation, raising fears of an escalating global trade war. Meanwhile, some domestic groups, such as the United Auto Workers, praised the move for its potential to boost American jobs. This bold policy shift dominated headlines and set the stage for significant economic and diplomatic developments in the days following. - x.com (Grok)
