Trump’s decision and its influence

US President Trump has signed an executive order about 25% tariff, which will be effective from April 2. He says that this step is being taken to protect the US industry, especially on imported cars from countries that do not produce in the US. Trump commented at the Oval Office, saying, “We will take tariffs from countries that take our jobs and property.” He said that these tariffs will apply only to cars that are not built in the United States. The cars that will be made in America, there will be no tariff on them.

America’s new mutual tariff system

The purpose of this new tariff is to increase duty on imported cars from countries which are not assembled in the US. This tariff will be applicable to half of cars and trucks sold in the US.
