On Tuesday, local time, U.S. President Trump, speaking from his Mar-a-Lago resort, revealed his plan to introduce a tariff of approximately 25% on imported cars on April 2nd. This decision was first hinted at as early as last Friday. Additionally, Trump mentioned that tariffs on semiconductors and drugs would also be announced in the beginning of April. He emphasized that these tariff rates are designed to incentivize companies to relocate to the United States, where they would benefit from zero tariff treatment. Earlier, he had already signed orders imposing a 25% tariff on imported steel and aluminum, and expressed intentions to implement "reciprocal tariffs" as well.
