D. Trump changes his mind: tariffs are even higher
D. Trump stated that after a court's decision, import tariffs were increased to a legally permitted 15%.
In a recent post on his platform Truth Social, D. Trump expressed his dissatisfaction with a court's decision deemed 'particularly anti-American,' which impacted his tariff program. He noted that the review administration has raised import tariffs to a maximum legally permissible level of 15%. Trump's reaction indicates a continued focus on trade policies that resonate with his support base and a commitment to protect American industry, even in the face of legal challenges. This shift reflects his ongoing strategy to appeal to voters concerned about economic nationalization and the preservation of jobs. Trump's comments could reignite debates around trade policies and their implications for consumers and businesses, particularly concerning the costs associated with imported goods.
