ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE: US President Donald Trump said on Sunday (Mar 30) reciprocal tariffs he is set to announce this week will include all nations, not just a smaller group of 10 to 15 countries with the biggest trade imbalances.
Trump has promised to unveil a massive tariff plan on Wednesday, which he has dubbed “Liberation Day”. He has already imposed tariffs on aluminum, steel and autos, along with increased tariffs on all goods from China.
“You’d start with all countries,” he told reporters aboard Air Force One. “Essentially all of the countries that we’re talking about.”
White House economics adviser Kevin Hassett recently told Fox Business that the administration’s tariffs focus would be on 10 to 15 countries with the worst trade imbalances, though he did not list them.
