8:20Now PlayingDonald Trump has announced sweeping tariffs on goods from countries around the world on what he called “Liberation Day”. The US President said it was the start of a "golden age" for America.
Trump announced that a 25% tariff on all foreign-made vehicles would begin from midnight local time.
On other imports, the EU will face 20% tariffs on goods entering the US, while UK goods will face a 10% tariff.
Trump said countries would face what he called “reciprocal tariffs” according to what he claimed they charged on US goods, with a minimum charge - what he called a baseline” - of a 10% tariff.
He said Chinese goods would face a tariff of 34% while for India the figure is 26%.
Trump said tit-for-tat tariffs would be imposed to counter not just other countries' tariffs on US goods but what he called “nonmonetary" barriers like currency manipulation and "pollution havens."
