Trump's 'Liberation Day' Tariff Day: What to Expect?

US President Donald Trump plans announce this Wednesday, April 2, the so-called “Liberation Day”, with the implementation of 20% tariffs on imported products.

Additionally, a 25 percent tariff on imported vehicles is set to go into effect as early as Thursday, April 3. These measures target countries that impose tariffs on American goods and could affect a wide range of imported goods. The stated goal is to reduce the U.S. trade deficit and strengthen domestic manufacturing.

It is estimated that more than $1,5 trillion in imports will be impacted by these tariffs, with a potential revenue of up to $6 trillion. Some of this revenue could be returned to American citizens in the form of “rebates,” according to members of the Trump administration. However, these proposals generate uncertainty in global markets, which await details on implementation and possible retaliation from other countries.
