WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said that he may sign an order on Wednesday to impose reciprocal tariffs on every country that charges duties on U.S. imports."I may do it later on, or I may do it tomorrow morning, but we'll be signing reciprocal tariffs," Trump said to reporters in the Oval Office on Wednesday.
