Donald Trump Unleashes Tariff Fury: What Unfolded This Week
President Donald Trump has announced a sweeping new tariff policy, imposing a 10% levy on all imports and additional "reciprocal" tariffs targeting countries with significant trade surpluses with the US. These measures have raised concerns about potential inflation, strained international relations, and impacts on American consumers and businesses. What Happened This Week On July 10, 2025, President Trump declared a national economic emergency to implement new tariffs without congressional approval. The policy includes a universal 10% tariff on all imports and higher rates on specific goods from countries like China, Mexico, and Brazil. For instance, a proposed 50% tariff on Brazilian products such as coffee and orange juice could significantly increase prices for US consumers. Why This Matters These tariffs are part of Trump's strategy to reduce the US trade deficit, bring back manufacturing jobs, and generate revenue to fund tax cuts. However, economists warn that such measures could lead to higher consumer prices, supply chain disruptions, and potential retaliation from trade partners. The European Union and China have already indicated plans to impose counter-tariffs on US goods. Breaking Down Trump's Proposal According to Reuters, Trump has proposed a sweeping trade plan that includes a universal 10% tariff on all imported goods. He also advocates for reciprocal tariffs, meaning the US would match or exceed tariffs imposed by other countries on American exports. Additionally, Trump is targeting specific materials like copper, proposing higher duties that could impact key industries such as automotive manufacturing and construction. These measures aim to protect U.S. businesses and reduce trade imbalances. Impact on Consumers and Businesses Will consumers pay more? Yes. The American Action Forum estimates that a 10% tariff on all imports could increase household costs by $1,700 to $2,350 annually, according to NBC News. Any fines on retailers and importers? According Business Insider, While there are no direct fines, importers bear the cost of tariffs, which often leads to higher prices for consumers. Companies like Nike and Walmart have already indicated price increases due to these tariffs. What are allies saying, and are they preparing countermeasures? Yes. The European Union and China have expressed strong opposition and are preparing retaliatory tariffs on US goods, potentially escalating into a trade war. According to CNBC, As the situation develops, the global economic landscape faces increased uncertainty, with potential repercussions for international trade and domestic markets.

Last Updated: The Trump Organization and Romania's SDC Imobiliare will develop Trump Tower Bucharest, a luxury apartment block. US President Donald Trump's family business, The Trump Organization, is in talks with Romanian real estate firm to construct a tower block with luxury apartments in Romania's capital city of Bucharest, the company said. According to The Trump Organization, the firm will team up with Romania's SDC Imobiliare to develop premium residences. 'Trump Tower Bucharest will be developed in the heart of Romania's capital, one of Europe's most vibrant and dynamic emerging markets, bringing premium residences under the Trump brand to the region," the companies said in a statement as reported by Reuters. However, the companies haven't spilled the beans about the he location or start date for work on the tower block, which is being branded as luxury residential apartments in Romania. Romania, a European Union and NATO member state, has found itself at the centre of a dispute between Europe and the Trump administration over democratic principles after the constitutional court in December cancelled an ongoing presidential vote due to suspicions of Russian meddling, denied by Moscow. The country re-ran its presidential ballot in May and centrist President Nicusor Dan won, with Trump later congratulating him on his victory. view comments First Published: July 12, 2025, 21:34 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
