US President Donald Trump on Wednesday, April 2, announced he is signing an order imposing "reciprocal" – or retaliatory – tariffs on countries worldwide.

"I will sign a historic Executive Order instituting reciprocal tariffs on countries throughout the world. Reciprocal that means: they do it to us, and we do it to them," he said at the White House. "This is one of the most important days, in my opinion, in American history."
