US President Donald Trump is set to announce sweeping tariffs, calling it "Liberation Day." The White House has not revealed details on tariff rates or targeted countries. Trump claims the move will boost American manufacturers by discouraging foreign imports. However, analysts warn of higher consumer prices and potential trade wars. The European Union has threatened retaliation, while UK officials express both concern and optimism. Reports suggest several nations have contacted Trump for last-minute talks. The tariffs, if imposed, could reshape global trade dynamics, impacting economies worldwide. Observers await Trump's announcement for further clarity. (PC: BBC)
