WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump said he would impose reciprocal tariffs as soon as Wednesday evening on every country that charges duties on U.S. imports, in a move that ratchets up fears of a widening global trade war and threatens to accelerate U.S. 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.
