Hello and welcome to our business blog – with Donald Trump’s global tariffs due to take effect on Wednesday.
The US president appears poised to push on with measures against imports to the US from almost every country in the world. The US will also go ahead with imposing a staggering 104% tariff on China from 12.01am ET (12.01pm China Standard Time) on Wednesday, the White House confirmed after Beijing did not lift its retaliatory tariffs on US goods by Trump’s Tuesday noon deadline.
