Video of Liberation Day: President Trump signs Tariffs to bring Golden Age Back
"The looting of America's industries is coming to an end. Foreign nations will be stopped from further pillaging. Reciprocity to the rip off artists is at hand, " says Eugene Delgaudio, president of Public Advocate.
President Donald Trump's 11th week in office is slated to focus heavily on tariffs, including the roll-out of the president's promised "Liberation Day," when his reciprocal tariffs will be announced.
"Liberation Day, I call it Liberation Day in America," Trump said from the White House last week, previewing April 2. "You'll be seeing tariffs. And I think I've been very fair. I have them set. But I think I've been very fair to countries that have really abused us economically for many, many decades."
For weeks, April 2 has been touted as the day when Trump's trade policy emphasizing "America First" will be laid out in earnest and end the U.S.' reliance on goods made overseas. He is expected to roll out his reciprocal tariff plan on Wednesday, which will likely match other countries' higher tariff rates and aims to counter other trade barriers like burdensome regulations, value-added taxes, government subsidies and exchange rate policies and to negotiate with some countries to reduce those barriers.
