The President of the United States, Donald Trump, officially imposed the reciprocal tariffs, marking what he calls the "Day of Liberation" for the country. These measures are already in effect, after Trump signed an executive order that formalizes them.
Despite the implementation of these tariffs, Trump stated that he remains open to possible negotiations in the future. These measures will impact several countries with which the United States maintains trade relations.
In previous statements, Trump emphasized that the initiative aims to strengthen the American manufacturing sector and counteract the unfair trade practices of other nations.
With this new tariff policy, Trump seeks to strengthen the American economy and sanction those nations that have maintained harmful trade policies for the United States for years. According to projections, the reciprocal tariffs would generate approximately 600 billion dollars in revenue for the Government.
"None of our companies are allowed to enter other countries. And I say that, in trade terms, it's about friends and enemies, and in many cases, the friend is worse than the enemy," Trump declared during his speech in the Rose Garden of the White House.
