US President Donald Trump has announced new tariffs, imposing a 10% levy on UK imports, 20% on EU goods, and a 25% tariff on all foreign-made vehicles starting at midnight. Calling it "Liberation Day," Trump claimed the move would usher in a "golden age" for America. He criticized trade partners, including Canada, Mexico, China, and India, for "unfair" practices. Holding a chart titled "Reciprocal Tariffs," he defended the measures, stating, "They charge us, we charge them." Analysts warn the tariffs could raise global prices and strain trade relations.
