Trump’s tariff blitz and the global institutional earthquake: Asean’s strategic moment against economic coercion


KUALA LUMPUR: On April 3, 2025, President Donald Trump declared "America’s Liberation Day” from the White House Rose Garden and signed an executive order launching a sweeping global tariff regime.

Under this new "reciprocal tariff” system, the United States (US) will impose a baseline tariff of 10% on all imports and an additional surcharge based on each country’s tariffs on US goods.
