Not a chip, but all trade: the United States will impose new duties against 15% of countries, including the Russian Federation - WSJ

To spread: US entrepreneurs do not know what the white house will make exceptions to grow tariffs for products from abroad, journalists said. Since April 2, the United States has introduced new trade tariffs with whole countries since April 2, not for certain types of products. Previously, it was about raising duties, such as chips and cars. According to the ideas of President Donald Trump, duties will relate to all trade from 15% of trade partners, in particular with the Russian Federation.

Trump's decision on Mutual Tariffs was told by The Wall Street Journal. The White House has allocated 15% of countries that have a "trade imbalance with the United States", WSJ sources said. The Trump administration called these states "dirty 15th", and they will apply new duties to them, the article is said. Media interlocutors listed what states are about: some of the Great countries (Australia, Brazil, China, European Union, India, Japan, South Korea).

In addition, Americans will raise tariffs for Mexico, Vietnam, as well as the Russian Federation, sources said. Anonymous interlocutors noted that rare exceptions were possible. However, on what principle they will be done, no one knows: Trump thinks that he should "do it for everyone. " "Targeted countries can count on receiving much higher tariffs. Trump's team can put tariffs into operation almost immediately on April 2, using extraordinary economic powers," WSJs wr the words of sources.

The sources have also explained that Washington does not plan to introduce sectoral tariffs on cars and chips, but will operate on a geographically oriented principle. On April 2, Trump announced "Liberation Day", recalled journalists. It is said that from this date "mutual tariffs" for the main trading partners of the United States will take effect.

Previously, they talked about additional payments for the automotive, pharmaceutical and semiconductor industry, but WSJ sources noted that this issue would probably be delayed. "[Trump] introduces so -called mutual tariffs aimed at equalizing the US tariffs with duties charged with trading partners," journalists wrote. Earlier, Focus wrote about Trump's statements on duties for partner countries.

For example, on March 7, the US President reported that 250% of the tariffs for products from Canada, as he did not like the increase in electricity price for Americans. Another threat came on March 13. The White House Head warned that 200% of duties on alcoholic products from Europe were planning to introduce. The head of state said it would benefit the US winemakers.
