WASHINGTON: US president Donald Trump says he will impose reciprocal tariffs soon on every country that charges duties on US imports, in a move that ratchets up fears of a widening global trade war and threatens to accelerate US inflation.
“I may do it later on or I may do it tomorrow morning, but we’ll be signing reciprocal tariffs,” Trump told reporters at the White House yesterday.
