In the White House, the eyes of the whole planet turn as the US president Donald Trump He is preparing a show in the garden of the wheels where he will announce his plan for their duties.
“One day the US is released,” Donald Trump said at the beginning of his speech. “We have some very, very good news today,” he says. “Many good things happen to our country.
“Today is the day of liberation. April 2, 2025 will remain in history forever as the day the American industry was reborn, the day when America’s destiny was claimed and the day we started to make America again. “
Initially, the US president said he was signing an order “for mutual duties around the world”.
“Mutual. This means that they do it to us and we do it to them. Very simple. It cannot be simpler than that. “
What is expected with particular interest is the size and target of duties as nothing has been leaked by the US government.
According to the Washington Post, Trump’s advisers are developing a plan to increase the tariffs on the products by about 20% for almost all countries, instead of the most targeted approach also examined.
The US government estimates that with the new duties it will earn $ 6 trillion, which could be returned to American citizens. One consultant said, however, that any reference before the official announcements is but a “simple guess”.
The Republican president has already imposed duties on steel and aluminum imports and increased duties for all imported Chinese products, exacerbating tensions with his country’s largest commercial partners.

Scenarios for duties in all countries
The US president, arguing that the US has come to change the rules of the global economy and with a secondary – but basic in rhetorical Trump – arguments that the country is losing huge amounts of huge amounts of unexplained commercial balance with the rest of the world.
Duties in specific countries but also in specific product categories
Based on this scenario, Donald Trump chooses a more conservative approach, imposing new tariffs on more countries than he has already announced so far, but not for all imports.
Most likely, if Trump makes this choice, there will be an important issue after the vehicle, but also of steel and in the drug industry, a commitment that has also given pre -election. There will also be exceptions in the countries, with Trump leaving a list of close “friends” and “allies”, but in no way Europe.
Wall Street’s investment banks report in their reports that if duties are generalized and around 15%, the growth rate of the US economy will be reduced to 1% for 2025, while 35% increased the chances of the United States in recession by 2026 (Goldman Sachs).
More difficult is the scenario for the World Organization “EY”, which in its report states that with 20%duties, the US economy in 2026 will enter a recession. The whole situation will also support the indicators of unemployment as well as inflation.
