ANALYSIS | World braces for battery of Trump tariffs on Wednesday | CBC News
Briefly

President Trump revealed his ambitious protectionist trade policy, termed "Liberation Day," aimed at imposing substantial tariffs. The plan may be the most significant trade shift since the Great Depression, raising concerns among skeptics regarding its impact on the global economy. The administration claims these tariffs are designed to generate revenue, finance tax cuts, and encourage domestic manufacturing. However, the announcement's specifics remain unclear, leading to apprehension within the auto industry and broader market volatility.
The White House boldly insists these tariffs will achieve several simultaneous goals: raise revenues, pay for tax cuts and force companies to build in the U.S.
To skeptics, it's making history for all the wrong reasons. The global economy, already jittery, will be on a knife's edge awaiting specifics of this plan.
