Instant reaction to Trump's tariff announcement | LBC

The US will impose 10% tariffs on the UK, Donald Trump has said. Mr Trump made the announcement as he gave a rundown of the trade barriers the US will put up on foreign countries on Wednesday evening outside the White House. China will face blanket tariffs of 34%, the EU 20%, and other countries even more. Vietnam will have 46% tariffs, Thailand 36% and Cambodia 39%. Mr Trump also imposed imports of 25% on all imports of foreign-made cars. He claimed that the tariffs weren't "fully reciprocal" but rather "about half" of what other countries were doing. "We could have done that, yes, but it would have been tough for a lot of countries," he said. The president said that companies building products in the US would not face tariffs. “For years, hard-working American citizens were forced to sit on the sidelines as other nations got rich and powerful, much of it at our expense. But now it’s our turn to prosper.” He said earlier in his speech that he will sign a executive order implementing "reciprocal tariffs on countries throughout the world". He described it as a "declaration of economic independence". Speaking from the White House garden, the President said: "In a few moments 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. Very simple, can't get any simpler than that. "This is one of the most important days in my opinion in American history. It's our declaration of economic independence."
