CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Former U.S. President Donald Trump remains firm on his proposed reciprocal tariff plan set to take effect on April 2, calling it a “liberating day for the U.S.” The policy aims to impose equal tariffs on countries that levy duties on American goods, marking a major shift in trade relations.
Trump, who has long criticized what he calls “unfair trade deals,” argues that this move will protect American industries, create jobs, and strengthen the economy. He claims that countries benefiting from low U.S. tariffs have exploited American markets for too long, and his plan will restore economic fairness.
The announcement has sparked mixed reactions from business leaders and international allies. Supporters believe the policy will reduce the trade deficit and boost domestic manufacturing, while critics warn it could escalate trade wars, increase consumer prices, and strain global relations. Experts suggest that key trading partners like China and the European Union may retaliate with their own tariffs, leading to potential economic disruptions.
Despite concerns, Trump remains unwavering, framing April 2 as a turning point for American economic independence. His campaign has actively promoted the tariff plan, appealing to voters who favor protectionist policies ahead of the 2024 elections.
As the date approaches, all eyes are on the White House and global trade partners. Will this move redefine U.S. trade policy for the better, or will it trigger unforeseen economic consequences? The world awaits the impact of Trump’s bold strategy.
