Reciprocal US Tariffs to Take Effect, Trump Threatens Chip Levies

After months of negotiations, US reciprocal tariffs are set to go into effect at 12:01am Eastern time. On Wednesday, President Donald Trump imposed an additional 25% tariff on Indian goods over its ongoing purchases of Russian energy, escalating a fight with a key Asian partner on the eve of his broad-based duties taking effect. Meantime, Switzerland's president Karin Keller-Sutter left Washington without announcing any success in lowering the 39% tariff on her country - the highest American tariff rate of any developed nation. For more, we heard from William Reinsch, Senior Adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. He speaks with Bloomberg's Haidi Stroud-Watts and Haslinda Amin on The Asia Trade. Plus - President Trump said he would impose a 100% tariff on semiconductor imports, though would exempt companies moving production back to the United States. The announcement came as Apple CEO Tim Cook joined the President at the White House to announce a fresh $100 billion investment plan in US manufacturing. We get reaction from Emily Benson, Head of Strategy at Minerva Technology Futures.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
