Donald Trump announced a sweeping new set of reciprocal tariffs on Wednesday, arguing that they would allow the United States to succeed.
“This is one of the most important days in my opinion in American history,” Trump said at a speech in the White House Rose Garden. “It’s our declaration of economic independence.”
