After spending more than two years teasing tariffs, tomorrow is the big reveal: the moment U.S. President Donald Trump unveils the full scope of his protectionist trade policy.
He’s calling it Liberation Day and he’s planning to celebrate it Wednesday afternoon in a splashy 4 p.m. ET event in the White House Rose Garden.
“[This] will go down as one of the most important days in modern American history,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said.
To skeptics, it’s making history for all the wrong reasons.
The global economy, already jittery, will be on a knife’s edge awaiting specifics of this plan, which could impose broader U.S. tariffs than anytime since the Great Depression.
The White House boldly insists these tariffs will achieve several simultaneous goals: raise revenues, pay for tax cuts and force companies to build in the U.S.
