US President hit the wires on Thursday, revealing details of his concepts of a plan for reciprocal tariffs against all major trading partners of the US who impose tariffs and also non-tariffs on goods imported from the US. According to President Trump, the US administration will also be considering countries that charge a VAT on foreign goods as a form of tariff. Specific details about the reciprocal tariff proposal remain slim, and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has been tapped to actually flesh out the details moving forward. President Trump also highlighted the need to address “non-monetary tariffs”, an economic concept that does not exist.
