The President of the United States, Donald Trump, announced at a press conference in the Oval Office that next week he will reveal the imposition of tariffs on several countries, aimed at matching the rates they apply to U.S. exports. This measure seeks to establish reciprocity in trade treatment between nations, as Trump indicated after meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba.
Trump stated: “Next week I will announce reciprocal tariffs, so that we are treated equally with other countries. We do not want more or less.” This advancement in U.S. tariff policy has generated uncertainty about the possibility of an international trade war.
