More detail now:

New U.S. Tariffs Possible by April 2 – Trump indicated that the U.S. may impose a 25% tariff on imported automobiles, along with similar duties on pharmaceuticals and semiconductor chips.

The proposed auto tariffs mainly target imports from Europe and Asia, potentially increasing consumer prices and disrupting global supply chains. The EU is in negotiations to mitigate the impact, but Trump remains firm on enforcing fairer trade terms.

The pharmaceutical and semiconductor sectors could also face initial 25% tariffs, which may increase over time. This move aims to encourage domestic production, but experts warn of higher costs and consumer price hikes.

The potential tariffs have raised concerns they could fuel inflation and strain international relations.

With the April 2 deadline approaching, analysts fear the tariffs could escalate trade tensions and derail economic stability, possibly leading to a broader trade conflict.
