US President Donald Trump commented on the decision to introduce duties by his country. “We have huge financial deficits with China, the European Union and many other countries. The only way to cure this problem is the customs, which currently bring tens of billions of dollars to the USA” – he wrote.
Donald Trump about the duties: beautiful thing
Then the leader criticized his predecessor. “The surplus with these countries increased during the “presidency” of the sleeping Joe Biden. We intend to reverse it quickly. One day people will realize that customs tariffs for the United States of America are a very beautiful thing! ” – said Trump.
On April 5, the US introduced a minimum 10 % duties on imports from all countries. From April 9, Washington will introduce even higher “mutual duties” for a specific group of countries. In the case of the European Union, we talk about 20 percent, but in a worse situation there are, among others China (34 percent), Switzerland (31 percent), India (26 percent), South Korea (25 percent) or Japan (24 %).
