Trump prepara-se para anunciar tarifas recíprocas
April 1, 2025 - O Presidente Donald Trump tenciona anunciar tarifas recíprocas para países que aplicam taxas a importações dos EUA, e chama-lhe “Dia da Libertação”.
Trump has billed April 2 as the launch of sweeping duties that are the centerpiece of his plan to rebalance global trade, boost U.S. manufacturing and inject tariff revenue into government coffers to fund domestic priorities, including a major tax cut.
The president has preceded Wednesday’s tariff announcement with levies on Canada, Mexico and China – the U.S.’s three largest trading partners – as well as cars, steel and aluminium. Import taxes on copper could come within several weeks. Trump has also threatened tariffs on pharmaceutical, semiconductor and lumber imports.
Uncertainty surrounding his plans, which have often changed and been subject to last-minute carveouts, have triggered fears they could blow up supply chains and raise prices for U.S. consumers. That angst has fuelled a weeks-long sell off on Wall Street that extended into Monday, Bloomberg said.
