Former President Donald Trump will impose new tariffs from April 2, targeting countries with high duties on US goods. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent identified the “Dirty 15,” including China, India, Germany, and Mexico, as key offenders. Trump called the move “Liberation Day” for American trade. The tariffs will vary by industry, with higher duties on automobiles, semiconductors, and pharmaceuticals. The US Trade Representative also flagged 21 nations for unfair trade practices. “These countries have taken advantage of us for too long,” Trump stated. The tariffs are expected to impact global trade significantly. (PC: India Today)
